DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) offerings span the breadth of our services.

Executive Coaching

We work with CEOs, executives, and managers to help them be more effective leading across differences and developing truly diverse and inclusive workplaces. We also provide coaching to women and people of color who have been identified as high potentials by their organizations.

Customized Learning Programs

• For Executives and Managers: We develop learning programs to help executives and managers work more effectively across differences and create more inclusive work environments. Workshops often include a discussion of unconscious bias and may include assessment instruments and coaching.
• For diverse employees: We have created seminars lasting 1-2 hours, and we have created comprehensive multi-component programs delivered over a 1-year period. Our programs are research-based and reflect our vast experience in this area.
• Unconscious Bias Programs: We have developed many programs around unconscious bias. Recognizing that unconscious bias exists even in “good” people often allows a group to have a constructive conversation around difficult issues. We have used the concept of unconscious bias as a way to discuss challenges within an organization, as well as challenges with clients or customers.
• Harassment Prevention Programs: We have designed and facilitated meaningful and impactful anti-harassment training programs that not only meet state legal requirements but also further the goal of fostering respectful and inclusive work environments. These programs are customized to reflect our client organization’s culture, dynamics, and challenges and are highly interactive.

Meeting Facilitation

DEI issues are often difficult topics to talk about and at the same time are among the most important topics to be raised and discussed. We use all our skills to craft discussions around these topics in a way that will achieve results and benefit relationships.

Consulting

We consult with organizations who are serious about DEI.  We help organizations better understand the systems, dynamics, and culture that help and hinder their DEI efforts. We work with organizations on developing comprehensive DEI strategic plans. We also consult on specific DEI initiatives.
