Sajal Javid — Speaker, Author & HR Strategist
Sajal Javid, MSW, M.Ed., CDP is a Chief Human Resources & Culture Officer, executive advisor, and founder of InclusivEdge Consulting. With over two decades of experience across corporate, nonprofit, healthcare, and multi-site operational environments, she has built HR functions from the ground up, advised executive teams and boards, and driven organizational transformation at scale.
As a speaker, Sajal brings something rare to the stage: the combination of deep HR expertise, lived leadership experience, and a personal story that reframes what it means to lead. From immigrant, social worker, and single mother to CHRO, consultant, international bestselling author, and keynote speaker — her journey is not a backdrop. It is the message.
Her style is direct, grounded, and deeply human. She does not deliver theory. She delivers clarity — the kind that helps people walk out of a room and immediately do something differently.
“You do not become a stronger leader by doing more. You become a stronger leader by becoming more aligned with who you already are.”

The A.L.I.V.E. Framework™
The A.L.I.V.E. Framework is Sajal’s signature leadership methodology — built around the belief that lasting leadership does not come from doing more. It comes from becoming more aligned with who you already are.
A.L.I.V.E. guides leaders through a process of internal alignment, authentic authority, and intentional impact. It is not a productivity system. It is a leadership identity framework — and it is the foundation of everything Sajal brings to the stage.
Developed from over two decades of working with leaders across sectors, A.L.I.V.E. combines identity, influence, and practical leadership in a way that is both deeply personal and immediately actionable. It is the framework that transforms how leaders see themselves — and how their organizations experience them.
“A.L.I.V.E. is not about becoming someone different. It is about becoming more of who you already are — on purpose.”
