What I Do

I help individuals, corporations, and organizations to navigate the journey to inclusion and cultural competence through the power of story. Each individual is a story; our society has a story; our organization has a story; our corporation has a story. Who do our stories include; who do they exclude? How can we create a new story that includes all of us in an equitable way? Our custom-designed workshops provide participants with awareness, skills and tools for utilizing sound diversity and intercultural theory, necessary to foster and sustain inclusion in any environment.

I Do It Through:

• Cultural Competence Coaching

• Custom-Designed Workshops for Companies and Organizations

• Dialogues

• Keynote Presentations

• Passport to Inclusion Public Workshops

• Storytelling Presentations

• Train the Facilitator Workshops

 

I Do It By Specializing In:

Global Diversity and Inclusion

These in-depth workshop experiences will support organizations in their efforts to work and communicate effectively with an increasingly diverse population. The workshops are designed to expand the global/cultural competence, social justice knowledge and skills of the participants and deliver practical tools for immediate application in order to develop or deepen inclusion initiatives.

Topics include:

• The Journey to Inclusion
• Inclusive Leadership
• Cross Cultural Competence
• Intercultural Development Inventory
• Unconscious Bias
• Passport to Inclusion seminars
• Executive Coaching

Storytelling and Authentic Dialogue

The greatest tool for cross-cultural understanding is the simple process of listening to and telling our stories. Researchers have discovered that the human brain has a natural affinity for narrative communication, so storytelling has the ability to connect individuals of great diversity with ease. Dialogue emphasizes listening to deepen understanding and invites discovery. Authentic Dialogue is a process of genuine interaction through which diverse participants listen to and engage each other deeply enough to be changed by what they’ve heard.

Topics include:

• Storytelling for Social Justice
• The Power of Story
• Dialogue for Healing Racism
• Authentic Dialogue

Multicultural Teambuilding

My custom-designed workshops guide participants through a discovery of self and culture, stimulating self-respect and respect of others while bringing about a greater understanding of difference and what role difference plays in daily communication.

Topics include:

• Diversity Games and Simulations
• Theatre of the Oppressed
• Drama and Improv games
