the diversity that exists within your organization. Systemic racism and the need to address equity from a holistic perspective.
We work with you to embrace
differences that exist, through training, coaching and assessments.
We provide guidance
to foster an inclusive barrier-free environment, that holds organizations accountable in their actions to create a shared sense of belonging for everyone.
Our sessions are designed to be engaging and thought-provoking
“This course to be very approachable and accessible, and a great starting point to discuss and combat racism. While just a short two-hour learning session, I found it brought about lots of helpful, thoughtful, and respectful discussions within our team that I have continued to reflect on since the workshop. I look forward to continuing this work both together as a staff as well as part of my own personal growth.”
— Participant, The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery
“Colleen has an approachable style that invites you into the discussion. We asked Colleen to speak to the importance of having a diverse workplace and promoting an inclusive environment. The interactive session was engaging and we learned something new, our team wanted more!”
— Kelly, Clearpath Robotics
Organizations have a difficult time attracting and retaining diverse employees
When leaders don’t have the tools or first-hand experience, they cannot recognize barriers their racialized, or otherwise marginalized, employees face.
Most racialized employees have faced some form of discrimination, racism, microaggressions and oppressive practices in their work environments: a poll from November 2019 suggests that 34 per cent of Canadians who identify as a person of colour have experienced discrimination with their current employer, with 62% of Black Canadians saying they ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ that racial discrimination is a problem in their own workforce.
