GOBINDER GILL BIOGRAPHY

Gobinder Gill is a #1 Best Selling Author on Amazon – “Achieving Prosperity through Diversity.” He trains companies in the art of Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity to bring greater harmony, productivity and profitability in the workplace. He has worked in many facets of the media dealing with diversity issues. Gobinder Gill experiences cover all facets of radio, television, film and print.

Gobinder Gill was a reporter for CBC television, contributed freelance articles for the Vancouver Sun and wrote a weekly syndicated multicultural column for the Metro Valley Newspapers. As a journalist, he interviewed high profile personalities including Mother Teresa. In 2013, he spoke at the TEDx Stanley Park Diversity: Evolution of the Unthinkable. Gobinder Gill was also featured in the Canadian Immigrant magazine. In addition to appearing in films and television commercials, Gobinder Gill has worked as a Set Dresser on such shows as Dr. Doolittle, Air Buddies and Psych.

Gobinder’s purpose and passion is to motivate and inspire others to embrace our differences and similarities. Gobinder Gill teaches his clients to make a shift in their attitudes toward others by approaching them with the recognition that we are all different, gifted and follow different journeys – and that there is much we can learn from each other. Gobinder Gill approach is always positive. He also urges businesses, CEOs, HR personnel, managers and supervisors to view :Diversity in the Workplace” as a business opportunity and not as a hindrance. Gobinder holds a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Richmond, B.C.

Everyone is gifted, but not everyone realizes their gift and leads a fulfilling life. Many fail to recognize their true purpose and passion in life. One of the main culprits is that people begin to believe the false labels stuck onto them by their family, friends and society. Over time they begin to shackle themselves with these labels. This stunts their potential to fulfill their dreams and aspirations and they become prisoners of these labels.

Gobinder Gill, himself, was once labelled as stupid, ugly and one who would amount to nothing. As an immigrant orphan child he endured more obstacles in life more than one can imagine: he suffered all kinds of abuse and racial prejudice, ate from garbage cans, weighed 61 pounds at the age of 13 and had no jacket in minus 30 degree winters. However, Gobinder Gill refused to believe the naysayers who said he wouldn’t amount to anything.  Gill followed his passion and built a distinguished career in the broadcasting industry where he found himself once again facing prejudice and naysayers.

Gobinder Gill looks at the fundamental flaws we all face and offers practical tools and techniques to free yourself from self-imprisonment.  He offers private consultations, public speaking engagements, seminars and workshops.

Beall's, Inc. (Florida, USA)

Gobinder Gill was a delight to work with. His reasoned thinking, fair-mindedness, limitless energy, positive attitude and boundless enthusiasm made him a great team-mate and valued leader. He was much loved and respected by all. In fact, if it wasn’t for Gobinder, I doubt that these TEDx Stanley Park conferences would have been the wild successes that they transpired to be.

Gobinder Gill’s seminar was truly amazing! He was practically able to reach, connect and engage with every single person in our group. One of the many things I learned from his talk was how to find my purpose and passion in my career and life by simply asking several questions that I never thought about in the past. And since then, my outlook on life and job has changed for the better. Gobinder is professional, down to earth and…funny! Your easy to follow ideas not only make sense, but are also thought provoking. I learned many new ways to work within the ethnic community and appreciate the opportunity to be able to expand not only our own businesses but also the business of our...

Your words made me realize that although you experienced the same or more intense discrimination, and I am sure it hurt you, you did not let it bring you down. You had chosen a path for yourself and you continued to move forward while fighting all these distractions. You did not let them make you stagnant. That is the day I realized my mistake. It took me a long time to realize it, but I am glad you got me there. I was letting that hurt make me lose my focus. I was letting it make me feel incompetent and insecure. I was losing control. I had lost control. November 3rd is when I realized that I need to take that control back. And now that you have helped me get back on the right track, I...
