How I work with you
Assess
There are many ways to work with me and a call will help you connect to where you will create the greatest impact. I am a skilled interviewer and even if you are not sure where to start I will help highlight areas that might be creating issues with productivity or profit. This information gathering informs the next stage of the process.
Analyse
Once we have identified the areas that present the greatest challenges I will look closely at the data and find patterns. I will also speak to your people and create safe and productive spaces for difficult conversations to understand how Diversity is understood in your workplace. Using qualitative analysis to distill this information allows for an holistic approach and also offers value for staff opinions to inform actions.
Action
Basing our action points on the data analysis we will collaborate to create action points and objectives to implement and measure over time. I will create a programme of opportunities to lead on training and use the data for open up dialogue in staff training; leading those tricky chats in a series of workshops. My methodology is simple and effective and we will make Inclusion CLICK

CLICK Is a method I have developed to help drive organisational change
I understand how it feels to be marginalised in the workplace, but we also understand how it feels to be held accountable for things outside of your control. We also know that nobody should experience discrimination based on their race, gender or disability. Like you we are frustrated by the slow pace of change, lack of awareness, or unwillingness to make inclusion sustainable and the feeling that things do not just CLICK.
Change
Change is inevitable but, everyone is stressed and another meeting about diversity or even just the word makes people uncomfortable. How to adopt new practices in recruitment or in retention of diverse talent is inevitable – there are just too many great people. Those companies who do hire say the unique life experiences, interests and talents of their teams increase both profits, brand identity and output.
Language
The ever changing landscape of Diversity creates a fear of saying the wrong thing – we will get clarity on terminology, examine how unconscious bias impacts performance and discover how to engage with diversity by being an ally. Exploring Neurodiversity in all its forms also means engaging with staff with a hidden disability and making accommodations for them to perform in their roles. Harnessing this unique brain chemistry means creativity, innovation and focus becomes the cornerstone of your business; could you use more of that.
Integration
Shifting mindsets towards new solutions and ideas is slow and people are fearful of change. When people are invested in growth, change becomes inevitable and feels effortless. We achieve that buy in together. Reframing how we engage with people is fundamental to sustainable growth and processes of transformation.
Conversations
Having hard conversations can lead to frustration and division and who wants to steer a staff meeting when there is already so much at stake. Airing views or offending others impacts on productivity and does not get the best out of us so we work to maintain open safe dialogue and listen and challenge appropriately and in ways that create open conversation.
Knowledge
Knowing what to do but not sure how to achieve it, you may have read the books and followed the protests. It’s a bit like climate change; taking action as an individual feels futile but the power of many can really make a lasting impact. Putting theory into practice and engaging with the data and the experiences puts flesh on the bones of abstract concepts like inclusion or diversity. Knowledge is useless without application. We make the books and theories work for our people and organisations.
