Empathy & Belonging

Acknowledged, understood, and applied.

Accessibility and Inclusion with a trauma-informed lens.

Awareness and Education

What does “belonging” mean, and why is it important to you, your organization, or community? Why do we need to lead with empathy? Learn concepts and practices that start with empathy and trauma-informed curiosity.

Courses for Organizations & Groups

  • For those starting out on this journey, learn the primary understanding of the basic concepts

  • HR professionals - Learn how to teach the benefits of inclusion to your employees proactively

  • Small business owners - Create a culture where everyone feels like they belong

  • Non-profit & faith leaders - Understand how to have radical hospitality with your employees and community

Group Facilitation

Whether you’re in the prevention phase or in the thick of it, conscious conversations are possible. In this work, 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 discussion

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

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

Inclusive Writing & Editing

Ensure your writing and materials are up to date with a “sitting in their seat” lens. These could be books, manuals, employee handbooks & communications, promotional/marketing materials, speeches, etc. Businesses, writers, authors, and professors: use an empathy editor to assist in maintaining your brand and integrity, and include all of your readers.

Editing & Proofreading

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

  • Have your curriculum attractive to all your students.

  • Preparing for a speech? Get a quick review with an empathic 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 empathy training or coaching.

Strategic Consulting

Are your HR practices in need of a person-centered touch? Have you checked all the boxes, but don’t see the results you wanted? When you need help fostering an uplifting culture or attracting and retaining diversified talent, it might be time for a “Humanizing HR” assessment.

People Planning & Responding

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

  • HR Leaders - Don’t have the capacity or internal expertise to focus on a human-centered strategy?

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

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