Change Consulting
I help leaders navigate complex culture change initatives.
Change Consulting Services
Changing your organization to become more diverse, equitable and inclusive requires dedicated resources and expertise. Each client project I work on is unique, but here are the services I'm most well known for:
Assessment & Strategic Planning
I help organizations understand where they are, where they want to go, and how they will get there. In partnership with senior leaders, we co-create an inclusive path forward that centers the voices of staff who have been historically excluded. Deliverables for these projects often include:
A report on the current state of DEI, including barriers and opportunities
A customized and clear DEI vision
A unique DEI action plan leaders will actually use
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory
I've supported organizations in these roles:
Interim Chief DEI Officer: As a short-term solution, I help organizations lay the foundation to set a future full-time DEI executive up for success. I help build systems and equip leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools to sustain change after I leave.
Launch + Stabalize DEI Structure: Using lessons I’ve learned from the dozens of volunteer DEI structures I’ve advised, I help DEI Councils and Affinity Groups (e.g., ERGs, BRGs) be set up for success and maximize their impact.
Ad-Hoc Advisory: While organizations scale their DEI strategy, I am often a thought-partner to leaders who lack bandwidth or expertise. I can be on retanier to answer questions, facilitate conversations, and offer feedback on DEI-related deliverables (e.g., communications, policies, and curriculum).
Instructional Design, Speaking + Facilitation
While one ad-hoc training will likely do very little to change your organization's culture; intentional, customized learning offerings are important tools organizations can use to raise awareness and generate buy-in. I use adult learning best practices to deliver engaging in-person or virtual learning experiences that explore topics like:
Activating Inclusive Leadership
Building a Strong DEI Foundation
Redesgining Systems for Equitable Outcomes
Navigating Power + Identity
Mitigating Microbehaviors
Exploring Cultural Dimensions of Diversity + Communication
Why change?
Society is changing at a rapid pace. If you're not proactive about DEI, the bad news is you’re behind. The good news is it’s never too late to start.
DEI challenges are never one-size-fits-all, so their solutions shouldn’t be either. I use my decade of experience to help leaders avoid common DEI pitfalls without having to re-invent the wheel.
The most effective change initiatives are:
Bespoke, designed to meet your company's unique needs.
Owned and led by senior leaders.
Systems-changes, integrated into day-to-day operations.
Organization change can feel like roller skating for the first time.
Awkward, overwhelming, and frustrating.
And yet, just like any new skill, it gets better with the right equipment, a great coach, and lots (and lots) of practice. ➡️
