Successfully Optimizing Today’s Diverse Workforce, Social Missions & Community Spaces
The world has changed, and you don't want to be left behind.
Navigating ever-changing social landscapes and contexts, and finding ways to build trust, collaboration and shared vision is a widespread goal across industries, sectors, and groups.
Yet many of the old approaches and checkboxes don't bring lasting results.
In this particularly galvanizing moment, we have an opportunity to rethink inclusion and cross-cultural relationships and get it right. We have all been raised in a society that fractures authentic intercultural appreciation, awareness, and inclusion — often through no deliberate fault of our own. Leveraging decades of deep personal experience navigating across difference, I focus us way beyond "checkbox DEI," using a supportive and relatable approach to guide us towards lasting change.
My Approach: Engaging, Principled & Kind
At the core of my work has been an ardent commitment to centering diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice as essential operationalizers of individual growth and systems change, and finding ways to help colleagues and clients build authentic, heartfelt, and generative practices to sustain these shifts.
I strive to apply my principled, inclusive, and results-driven approach in ways that are engaging, responsive, and supportive. We are all dealing with longstanding vestiges of inequity and discrimination, and I draw upon a wide variety of resources, from DEI “classics,” to the ISO standard for Diversity and Inclusion to materials from human psychology, popular culture, self-help tools, and — unique to this practice — the stories of BIPOC women leaders in history as cornerstones for intersectional celebration and de-centering of default whiteness narratives and monocultural hegemony.
Merging praxis and personality, I guide learners and clients through the blind spots, legacy biases, and social complexities that impede belonging and strong collaboration.
