Acknowledged, understood, and applied.

Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion and Belonging with a trauma-informed lens.

Awareness and Education

What’s DEI? DEAI? JEDI? What does “belonging” mean and why is it important to you or your organization or community? Learn all the terms and why we all need to know them. Learn inclusive concepts and practices that start with empathy and trauma-informed curiosity.

Group Facilitation

Whether you’re in the prevention phase or in the thick of it, conscious, inclusive conversations are possible. In this sensitive work, I am aware of the levels of privilege in my identities. So, I am open to any helpful role: lead or co-facilitator, or a backseat coach who advises or assists from behind.

Facilitation of Conscious Conversations

  • How to prepare for a needed community conversation

  • When you need a lead facilitator for a trauma-informed conversation

  • When you want an experienced facilitator to co-lead with you

  • Backseat coaching: You’ll lead the conversation with support or assistance from behind the scenes

Inclusive Writing & Editing

Ensure your writing and materials are up to date with a DEAI lens. These could be books, manuals, employee handbooks & communications, promotional/marketing materials, speeches, etc. Businesses, writers, authors, and professors, have an inclusive editor to assist in maintaining your brand and integrity and include all of your readers.

DEAI Editing & Proofreading

  • Want your book or website content to be inviting to all your potential readers?

  • Have your curriculum inclusive to all your students.

  • Preparing for a speech? Get a quick review with a DEAI, socially just lens.

  • HR Leaders & Businesses - Protect yourself by updating your documents with equitable and inclusive language.

Coaching & Education

When you or your organization is ready for the next-level learning, we can dig into how to be anti-oppressive and useful allies. Whether it’s for you, an employee, or your community, it may be private coaching or customized learning.

Intersectional & Anti-Oppression Coaching

  • Chaplains/Faith Leaders - Reflect more deeply and learn how to avoid causing unintentional harm.

  • Therapists - Have a confidential coach to check your intent vs. impact.

  • Be an anti-racist accomplice when you want to be more than just an ally or witness.

  • Parents/Grandparents - Improve your relationships with your kids via DEAI training or coaching.

DEAI & Belonging Consulting

Are your HR practices in need of an equity lift? Have you checked all the boxes but don’t see the results you wanted? When you need help fostering an inclusive, belonging culture and attracting and retaining diversified talent, it might be time for a DEAI assessment.

Strategic People Planning

  • Non-Profits, Churches, and Small Businesses - Without an HR department, how can you keep up with DEAI needs?

  • HR Leaders - Don’t have the capacity or internal expertise to focus on a DEAI strategy right now?

  • HR Professionals - Need help designing or implementing your DEAI initiatives?

  • Ensure your organization is headed in the right direction for everyone.
