Diversity, Equity, Inclusion + Belonging Assessment

If you don’t know where your organization is at with diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, how do you know where you need to go? Cultivating DEIB isn’t just for your people + culture department, it’s a part of every element of your business. I work with your leaders and team to discover where your company is starting from, providing a fresh set of eyes, ears and expertise to analyze your company with a DEIB lens. From there, I develop actionable recommendations to ensure your next steps are effective and specific to your needs. Reach out for a complementary conversation to discuss your organization and how I may be able to help.

I create people-centred strategies for employee engagement, equity, diversity, inclusion + belonging, employee wellness and more to build healthy and happy workplaces that thrive. My strategies are built on a foundation of psychological safety, motivational psychology and empathic leadership. I do this by getting to know your team, building trust and connection as I develop and implement change management plans that make a meaningful difference. Everything we do together is delivered in an engaging way that leverages open communication, empathy and humour for positive change.

Hosting + Facilitation

If you need an energetic and informed emcee, facilitator or moderator to bring an event to life, I can collaborate with you to shape the tone, spirit and goals of your experience to make it a success. I’ve delivered 200+ speaking events ranging from onboarding sessions and webinars to multi-hour award shows. Many of the events I’ve done are private, but you can see some of the public work I’ve done on my demo reel over here ->

Interviewing

I love asking people perceptive questions and developing a connection that enables them to comfortably share their stories. I’m able to put people at ease and have deeper conversations that translate to powerful content that's full of heart, honest perspectives and enlightening takeaways. My interviewing experience is vast, including documentaries, podcasting, online courses, panel moderation and more. Put my skills to work supporting your storytelling goals.
