For Organizations
Is your organization ready to do more than “check the box” when it comes to global diversity, equity, and inclusion?
Our services
When it comes to building inclusive workplaces, the bottom line isn’t the bottom line. Human well-being has to come first.
We work with C-suite, human resources (HR), learning and development (L&D), talent acquisition / recruitment folks, and DEI departments to equip leaders and employees with real, tangible skills that cultivate a sense of belonging and inclusion — unleashing human potential in new ways.
If you’re looking for tools and skills for strengthening inclusive behaviors among your staff and leaders, please reach out.
Skills-focused
Creating inclusive workplaces is about doing things differently. This means learning and applying new skills.
The workplace is the best possible learning lab. We know what works for adult learners.
Power
Who should do things differently? Everyone. But mostly the folks with more power and more privilege.
You’ll learn to identify your spheres of influence, so that you can use the power you have to make change most effectively.
Practical
Learn to recognize communication and work styles in action, and what you can do differently to forward inclusion.
While our work is grounded in theory, our approach of learning by doing is 100% practical.
Expansive
It’s easy, and understandable, to get sucked into doom and gloom. We’ve been there (and still go there sometimes).
We believe that an expansive, optimistic, strengths-based approach is our best bet for a bright future.
“I am very honored to be part of this incredible experience at a time when the world profoundly needs courageous, wise and ethical leadership.”

Expertise
I’ve co-led our workshops dozens of times over the past seven years, impacting over a thousand students and professionals — and honing the workshops into the sharply focused experiences they have become.
We run all of these workshops via our BridgeLabs partnership. My business partner Lauren Moloney-Egnatios and I have been working together since 2016. Each of us brings unique experiences, perspectives, and strengths to BridgeLabs. Workshop participants frequently tell us that the synergy of our partnership comes through loud and clear in our work, and is a major factor in the lasting impact our workshops have had.
Every organization is different. We work with you to design a custom approach, mixing and matching our existing workshops according to your needs, along with individual and group coaching. If you want to measure progress, we are qualified administrators of several industry-leading assessments. If you want us to build an online course that’s specific to your organization’s needs, we do that too.

Managing Conflict Across Cultures
Most of the time we’re so caught up in our annoyance at how others behave in conflict that we can’t even begin resolving conflict.
In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to identify your own and others’ conflict styles, see how our conflict styles are shaped by culture, gain specific skills for de-escalating conflict, and learn how to appreciate the strengths of styles different from your own. You’ll come out of it seeing yourself and your colleagues with new clarity, ready and able to de-escalate conflict and excel in your work.

Building Inclusive, High-Performing Teams
Humans are great at being annoyed by one another. Mostly, we see others as having some sort of character flaw — when in reality, it’s usually just differences in communication and work styles.
In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn to recognize stylistic differences in the workplace and get actionable strategies for adapting to behaviors different than your own. You’ll come out of it feeling more comfortable engaging with your team and able to work together more productively.

Leading With Impact
People respond to leadership styles according to their own preferences. Leading effectively requires us to have a range of leadership styles at our disposal, and to use them when and where they are best suited.
Through an immersive role-play simulation, you will see four leadership styles in action, and observe what happens when leadership styles don’t match employee and team expectations. You’ll also see what becomes possible when leaders are able to identify and match the preferred styles of their colleagues. You will emerge a more effective leader and colleague than you were just two hours before.
