A determined optimist with a strong work ethic, Gobinder ignored naysayers who told him he would amount to nothing. Instead, he followed his vision and pursued his dream of a career in the media. Gobinder acquired a Bachelor of Applied Journalism degree as well as several diplomas and certificates in acting and film.
During his two decade career in the media, Gobinder acquired experience in a variety of positions, including on-air radio announcer, program coordinator, advertising sales representative and advertising sales manager.
In addition, he has written a syndicated column and numerous articles for Metro Valley Newspapers and The Vancouver Sun on business, cultural diversity and other issues involving ethnic communities. He worked for CBC Radio and Television as a reporter and researcher. He had principal acting roles in television dramas (such as Air Wolf) and television commercials. He has also worked as a movie and a TV set dresser (some of the titles include Air Buddies, Dr. Doolittle, Another Cinderella Story and Psych).

Gobinder Gill has a profound perspective on North American diversity that can only come from first-hand experience. Orphaned in India at the age of eight, Gobinder was raised by relatives. He immigrated to Canada at the age of nine and faced a disadvantaged childhood and extreme racial prejudice. After graduating from high school in Prince George, B.C., he came to Vancouver in 1981 and entered the workforce — only to find himself once again encountering prejudice and discouragement.
He has also authored a book on cultural diversity in the workplace called “Achieving Prosperity Through Diversity”, which was named the #1 Best Seller on Amazon, and spoke at TEDx Stanley Park in a speech titled Diversity – Evolution of the Unthinkable. Today, through public speaking engagements, seminars and workshops, he provides diversity and cultural sensitivity training for various organizations. He is also a motivational speaker on topics of self-belief and self-empowerment.
