Bring me in!

I love partnering with organisations (especially smaller ones, and those that support them) to:

  • deliver training

  • produce research

  • review processes

  • design programmes

… that contribute to more inclusion and joy.

How will you know if you want to work with me?

These 7 principles describe my approach to inclusion-boosting projects.

I decided on them after years of receiving and delivering this type of work. They keep me honest, curious and thoughtful.

If you are excited to approach like this, get in touch!

Principle 1. Design for the organisation as it is

Organisations and people aren’t interchangeable. I want to know what it’s like in your organisation, and I want to design a project for your people.

Principle 2. Answer to the people affected and the buyers

Great inclusion work can make life lots better for the people who are junior, underrepresented or less heard in an organisation. I check the work with these people as well as the people who sign off and pay (if they are different).

Principle 3. Know who and what the work is for

I need to know what you’re trying to achieve, and for whom.

Principle 4. Do inclusion before diversity

I want people in underrepresented groups to enjoy your organisation! So I help organisations become better for those people, before bringing them in.

Principle 5. Have a testable idea of how the change will happen

Why go through the motions of inclusion work if it doesn’t make a difference? I design work with a testable idea of how it’ll create positive outcomes.

Principle 6. Involve people in their own inclusion work

No workplace has solved its inclusion challenges just by getting staff to listen to a talk. My work involves and supports people to learn, work through challenges, find solutions and change what’s happening.

Principle 7. Learn from every piece of work

I build in points for feedback. I can then improve the plan as we go, and learn important lessons about how DEI is best achieved in your context.
