Diversity consulting involves working with organisations to identify and address challenge related to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) in the workplace. This includes assessing current practices, focusing on a specific challenge if needed, creating action plans, as well as offering training and resources to improve DEI and make sure it is truly embedded within your organisation.

As a coach, I offer individual and group coaching sessions focused on personal and professional growth in the context of diversity and inclusion (ie Woman Up is an individual coaching program for women in male-dominated industries). As a facilitator, I conduct workshops, seminars, and training sessions to guide conversations around DEI topics and help organisations create inclusive environments (ie Leading Like An Ally Workshop for line managers). Don't hesitate to reach out to know what's currently on offer as it regularly changes and adapts. It also includes some bespoke services.

Our services can help your organisation build a more inclusive and equitable culture.

There is often a focus on diverse hire at junior levels and ERGs, but figuring out how to ensure you are not just ticking boxes but truly include DEIB into your company or charity's DNA can be hard to crack without an outside view.

We also help organisations craft their detailed vision for DEIB as this is key to ensure a proper strategy and direction for any internal initiatives.

We provide custom training on topics such as unconscious bias, systems of oppression, allyship, inclusive leadership, and creating inclusive workplace practices. Depending on the context they can be aimed at anyone in your organisation, only employees from marginalised communities, leadership team etc.

We have pre existing trainings and workshops that can be adapted for your specific organisation (ie Lead Like An Ally, Rules and Regulations For A Successful Neurospicy Organisation, Respect Above Understanding: Navigating Different Lived Experiences...) or can create one to suit your current problematic and meet you where you're at.

Whether you would like to collaborate on a specific challenge or would like to discuss an overall DEI assessment, we always begin by understanding from you where your organisation is at and what would be the best possible outcomes.

We are then able to customise the approach to address specific challenges and opportunities unique to your organisation.

It all depends on the goals we set up together, including how we will measure progress and commitment internally throughout the process, before/after a training or workshop.

After identifying together what would be the best outcomes of a particular program, we can work on a timeline including before and post engagement. This can take different forms and could be qualitative and/or quantitative.

Success could be measured by assessing changes in organisational practices, employee feedback, progress towards DEI goals, and tangible improvements in metrics such as employee retention, satisfaction, and performance. All depending on the duration of the project.

I spent 14 years in media and advertising fostering synergy within teams and helping people grow. Becoming a parent made me truly focus my work on this aspect which I always enjoyed the most. I trained as a coach (ACC, CPCC) and facilitator.

Since creating Diversity in the Boardroom in 2021, I have worked with various organisations to improve their DEI practices and supporting employees from historically marginalised groups to rise within their companies.

The duration varies depending on your organisation's needs and goals.

Some projects can last a few weeks with an initial assessment, a workshop and an action plan to be delivered afterwards. More complex consulting engagements may last several months.

When it comes to coaching it is structured over a specific period of time usually 3 to 6 months.

Creating a safe and respectful space for open and honest discussions is paramount. We set ground rules for respectful communication and guide conversations to ensure everyone feels heard and valued.

Depending on the topic, we might create different groups to ensure we are not in a situation where people from historically marginalised groups have to assist their colleagues in their learning without supporting their own nervous system in the situation (ie for sessions on Patriarchy and My Role Within It, we would want to ensure there is a session for people considering themselves allies, people who wouldn't call themselves allies and people who are directly attacked by the patriarchy to ensure they are provided with the right tools to navigate their colleagues awakening while looking after themselves).

We offer ongoing support through follow-up sessions, resources, and check-ins to help ensure the sustainability of progress and continued growth in DEI practices. Here as well this would depend on the overall project and what would have been agreed but ensuring there is always a before and a post event/project check in is critical for us.

To get started, we can schedule an initial chat to discuss your needs and goals. From there, we can develop a plan tailored to your organisation and begin working together.

If Diversity in the Boardroom is not the right partner for you, we would be happy to recommend other organisations to support you.
