Practice Areas
Consulting
An outside perspective can be invaluable when an organization is developing strategy or seeking transformation. We provide consulting to facilitate change management, program development, or DEI focused projects. Consulting engagements are often combined with coaching services and professional development programs.
Sample consulting projects:
- Programs: Professional development, group coaching
- Strategy: Planning, facilitation
- Materials: Handbook, toolkit, video scripts, curriculum and design
- Workshops: Custom in-house education, train-the-trainer cohorts, mini-modules, discussion groups/book groups
Coaching
Coaching is a powerful and effective tool that provides individuals at all levels with the opportunity to expand their knowledge and pursue sustainable professional and personal growth.
Our coaching is tailored to individual needs. We work with our clients to identify goals and increase their skills, as they learn to embrace their own potential through self-initiated change. A coaching session might include:
- Self-reflection on leadership style, career advancement or work/life integration
- Co-designing resources for productivity, time-management, or communication
- Problem solving for specific obstacles or emergent situations.
- Strategies for navigating the impacts of social identities and/or intersectionality
Skill Building
All organizations have unique and distinctive needs. We design programs and workshops that are tailored to your specific audience, your culture, and your goals.
Always interactive, our workshops are infused with Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a collaborative, strengths-based approach that provides concrete outcomes. We provide tools that empower our clients to pursue sustainable professional and organizational growth.
Workshops, facilitated conversations, and group retreats are available in multiple formats as a stand alone experience, or in a learning series. A customized workshop, once developed, may be presented multiple times across an organization. Sample topic areas:
- Building a Mindful Career
- Inclusive Communication
- Leadership Strengths & Challenges
- Managing and Leading Others
- Responding to Bias & Microaggressions
- Strategies for Reducing Imposter Syndrome
- Work/Life Integration (and Satisfaction)
