Opportunity Assessment + Issue Consulting
It takes time to engrain DEI and socially impactful business practices into culture. Understanding that needs and budgets vary, I offer the expert and bespoke guidance of a seasoned practitioner on an array of operational components critical to driving equity. Consulting engagements begin with an initial informational listening session and often cover topics such as:
Internal DEI Systems:
Onboarding and integration
Performance review and promotions
Leadership and client succession planning
Employee Resource Groups and Diversity Council strategy
Internal policy development (e.g., advancement, leave, hybrid work)
Layoffs and downsizing
DEI director/staffing hiring and advisement
Case by case (i.e., advising for unpredictable world and organizational events with equity implications)
External DEI Systems:
Branding and media
Client reporting, guidelines and partnerships
Community and trade organization partnerships
Annual DEI and ESG reports
Case by case (i.e., advising for unpredictable world and organizational events with equity implications)
Fractional CDO
As a fractional Chief Diversity Officer, I listen to your needs and work alongside you to design and implement effective diversity, equity and inclusion strategies into your business operations. Through a fractional engagement, I bring my expertise to your leadership team in a tailored, flexible and objective manner which optimizes your investment and drives transformation.
Recognizing that transformation takes time, engagements run a minimum of six months. The work is highly customizable and includes:
Informational interviews
Straightforward equity audit
Multisource data analysis
Strategic plan creation with short-term and long-term recommendations
3-month follow-up as the work will continue long after my service ends
If organizational training is a component of the strategic plan we develop together, I will recommend experts that will resonate with your culture.
More extensive engagements may include a customizable workforce engagement survey with analysis, development of accountability tactics and/or assistance recruiting and onboarding full-time expert talent.
Office Hours + Mentoring/Coaching
Diversity professionals are under immense pressure and carry the weight of systemic racism, sexism and all forms of oppression engrained in society. Burnout is all too common and support mechanisms are lacking. To sustain the work, we must prioritize our own development and support. As an objective seasoned professional, I am honored to serve as a resource as you manage your career and craft your DEI strategy. As a confidential ally, I am motivated to help others move equity forward while caring for themselves.
Let’s talk.
