Services

I offer FAIR Assessment and Strategy projects, Expert Consulting, and Speaking to help you build workplaces that work for everyone.

FAIR Assessment & Strategy

Building a workplace for everyone isn’t possible unless your organization understands its starting point. FAIR Assessment and Strategy Development projects help quantify your unique landscape: the cultural norms that fuel your successes, and those that hold you back; the processes that ensure fairness for all, and those that inadvertently marginalize; and so on. This work is the first step of any organizational improvement or transformation, and results in resources, recommendations, a plan, and a vision for turning your status quo into the healthy workplace you deserve.

Starter

9 Month Project

Basic

The most lightweight package available, Basic packages are a good fit for small organizations with limited budgets but still looking for accountability. Basic packages reliably surface pressing and high-priority issues and opportunities for organizations to focus on.

RECOMMENDED

10-14 Month Project

Standard

The most-requested package, Standard packages are the bread and butter of accountable work. With strategy development fueled by robust data collection and analysis, Standard packages are good fits for organizations looking for a strong backbone to their FAIR work.

LIMITED AVAILABILITY

14 Month+ Project

Enterprise

The most rigorous package, Enterprise packages are for organizations looking for long-term accountability, communications guidance, and consistent support turning insights to strategy to implementation. Enterprise packages are roughly equivalent to bringing in a fractional CDO.

Consulting

I offer tailored consulting services for individuals and organizations looking for long-term thought partnerships, short-term advising, or lower-touch engagements anywhere in between. These engagements are the best way to get an expert practitioner’s “gut check” on your product or communications, participate in an audit of your existing people strategy, lead a design sprint around a new training or process you're designing, and more.

Advising practitioners, executives, and people leaders on FAIR implementation, effective communications, conflict resolution, global DEI strategy, and research design.

Designing new strategies, initiatives, and programs to create FAIR workplaces, meet the changing needs of workers, customers and partners, and deliver measurable impact.

Partnering with product, HR, communications, and L&D professionals to audit products, policies, communications, and educational materials for fairness, inclusion, and effectiveness.

Speaking

Inspiration isn’t enough to change organizations. But the right speaker at the right time can build momentum for a new initiative, create support for new ways of approaching a problem, and equip changemakers with new resources and knowledge. Don’t just pick a speaker because you like what they have to say in a vacuum—pick a speaker because their words provide exactly the challenge, the ideas, or the support your audience needs to reach their next stage of growth. If the time is right for me to be that speaker for you, I’d be honored to collaborate.

I regularly speak on the core topics below and can adapt these topics for a range of engagement types, though my preferred formats are virtual keynotes and virtual fireside chats. I occasionally will speak on other topics (e.g. LGBTQ+ inclusion) or in other formats (as a panelist or panel facilitator, or in-person) on a case-by-case basis.

Core Topics

FAIR For All: The Future of Human-Centered Workplaces

Your commitment to your employees and your customers remains strong, but anti-DEI backlash and political volatility make it hard to know what to do. A new framework and platform for doing this work, centered on measurable outcomes, systems change, coalition-building, and win-win messaging, offers a roadmap for any organization to navigate backlash.

Reconstructing DEI: Practices to Enhance Practitioner Impact

What makes a skilled DEI or FAIR practitioner? Self-understanding, interpersonal chops, analytical and storytelling skills, organizational change strategies, and a whole lot of experience, in my book. My most customizable talk, Reconstructing DEI gives audiences the option to pick between 40 different exercises and topics to deepen their learning.

Changemaking Made Simple: Tools and Tactics to Create Better Systems

Tools, strategies, and frameworks for workers at every level to organize, influence, coalition-build, and collectively create change in their workplaces over the long haul. Can be tailored for executives, people leaders, managers, volunteer advocates, or general audiences.

What's In It For Me? Communicating the Value of Better Workplaces for Everyone

Despite the promise of people-centered work that benefits everyone, DEI continues to have its skeptics, detractors, and opponents. Designing and communicating about this work as a collective, coalition-based effort to build better workplaces for everyone can create the buy-in to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

My organization is looking for a one-hour training. Could you deliver one?

My services are geared towards organizations looking to achieve measurable, medium- to long-term impact. While training can be a part of this, I typically offer it within a broader project to implement strategy or accelerate organizational change. To work with me on a one-off training, a client must demonstrate both the existence of a strategy or broader approach that this training will fit into, and their willingness to bookend the training with practices (e.g., pre- and post-measurement) to measure its effectiveness and impact. I am able to deliver these trainings on a case-by-case basis if these expectations are met.

Many of your services mention data collection. What data do you collect, and how do you manage it?

My collection of demographic data follows the highest standard of data privacy best practices. All data is collected voluntarily (i.e., opt-in through optional survey questions) and for the specific purpose of identifying inequities and community needs. The purpose of all data collection is transparently communicated, and I collect the minimum amount of demographic data necessary to do my work effectively. All data is stored securely, and I take extra effort to anonymize any identifying data prior to data analysis and communication of findings to ensure that no individual's identity can be inferred from the insights I share.

Our volunteer group has a limited budget and resources. Is there a way we can work together?

My rates reflect the value of the work I do. While I do offer lower rates on a sliding scale, this is on a case-by-case basis for clients doing high impact work whose impact has the potential to scale through our collaboration. For those who are looking to begin moving towards more impactful and less performative work, I recommend first using the self-paced learning and exercises in my workbook, Reconstructing DEI. For those who are looking to learn more about effective organizational change work, I recommend following my publicly available writings on LinkedIn, my LinkedIn Learning course on achieving equity in workplaces, and my writing in the Harvard Business Review.

My organization is already working with another consultant or third-party company providing complementary services. Do you have the option of partnering with our existing vendors?
