There are many benefits in creating an inclusive environment whether it’s in an educational, professional, or business setting. Some of the benefits include improved performance, increased productivity, increased morale, and increased retention rate. It has been my experience that many people have the best intention but lack the information and skills to achieve their goals. To help people move from intention to action, I have designed a number of workshops and training sessions that will provide the information and tools needed to create a genuinely inclusive environment.
I invite those who are interested in achieving these goals to schedule a consultation meeting with me. During the meeting, we will discuss the needs and goals of your organization and come up with a plan. Depending on the plan, I may serve as a consultant who will work behind the scenes, or as a trainer who actively engages with members of your organization to provide them with tools and information.
