  We’re excited to welcome Dr. Christopher Culver to explore The Science of Kindness—a powerful approach to improving mindsets and building spaces where every person feels seen, heard, valued, and respected.

  This isn’t just good practice—it’s the foundation of a thriving employee experience. These behaviors shape the culture employees live every day, signaling what’s safe, what’s valued, and how people belong. When organizations prioritize this, they’re not just cultivating inclusion—they’re building trust, engagement, and shared ownership of culture itself.

  Dr. Christopher Culver is a highly sought-after, dynamic, and engaging speaker. He is a proud product of Oklahoma public education. For more than a decade, Dr. Culver has served educational communities as a classroom teacher, secondary principal, and, most recently, as a cabinet-level administrator. He is the former President of the Oklahoma Association for Bilingual Education and currently serves as Vice President of the Oklahoma Citizens for Education nonprofit. Today, he works as a speaker and leading thought partner on the Science of Kindness, a consultant with expertise in culture and Gen Z/Gen Alpha understanding, and a part-time professor at Oklahoma City University, where he teaches future teachers and leaders.
