Inclusion Leadership That Builds Trust

You’re leading at an organization that’s making a difference in this world, thank you!

Your work matters and is needed now more than ever. Are you confident that your employees are feeling valued, trusted, and that they can thrive? Do you sense that there are gaps between your stated values and your employee experience, but can’t quite define it? Are you struggling to attract and retain top talent? 

Let’s partner on improving employee experience, reducing attrition and burnout, building psychological safety, and ensuring that your employees know they are valued and can thrive.

Assess

Best for organizations that need clarity before committing to deeper work

Are you committed to the principles of inclusion, cultures of belonging, and fairness but are unsure where the issues and gaps are in your organizational systems? Do you need help assessing how much psychological safety exists, or how to build a roadmap to move you forward? UPLIFT Organizational Assessment℠ is a deep dive into your organization that provides clarity into the current state, gets leaders aligned for change and builds a roadmap for making progress.

Transform

Best for organizations that need ongoing executive-level DEI leadership

You know you need an inclusion, employee engagement, culture, or DEI strategy embedded throughout your organization, but don’t have the budget for a full-time executive to own it. This is where my transformation tier, UPLIFT Embedded Leadership℠, comes in. Let me be your cross-functional partner and owner of your inclusion strategy.

Sustain

Best for complex organizations that need broader strategic involvement

Sustain extends the UPLIFT Framework℠ into enterprise-level complexity encompassing board advisory, multi-entity alignment, M&A transition, investor and stakeholder confidence, and long-range sustainability. If your organization is more mature, more complex, has multiple sites or high visibility, and wants deeper governance and sustainability support, UPLIFT Strategic Partnership℠ is the tier for you.

And it all begins with a connection - You!

I’m interested in delivering what’s actually useful to you, not selling “DEI in a box”. If you’ve been wondering if working with an enthusiastic, empathetic partner might help move your organization forward, let’s talk. All of my engagements begin with a complimentary conversation, no obligations, no pressure. Just a chat about what’s going on, what prompted you to look for a resource, and what you’re working towards.

Let’s navigate the complexities of our work & world together

You’ve heard the phrase “a rising tide lifts all boats”. Well that’s what Uplift Inclusion does for organizations; I assess your current state, devise a transformation plan, and implement it. This approach uplifts your strategy, policies, Learning & Development, leaders, workforce, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and more, so that everyone can thrive; your organization, your employees, and your clients. I guide and empower organizations to embed equity and inclusion into their culture and strategy to build engaged, high-performing teams where everyone thrives and belongs.

I get that many organizations are reluctant to use the terms like DEI, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion these days. But that doesn't mean the work isn’t still critical to the growth and success of your organization, and your employees.

It’s important to reassure your employees that they matter, and that you are leading with integrity.

So, we can call it culture, employee engagement, community connection, or belonging (let’s discuss other options). What matters is that we do the work. What matters is that you align your strategy and actions with your values. Uplift Inclusion can help you do that through a variety of services that I offer.
