For over three decades I have worked with diverse individuals, couples, families, communities and organizations to create positive and lasting change in the field of justice, equality and inclusion.

I have written several cross-cultural competence guides and conducted numerous research studies in Social Care and the needs of diverse populations. My most recent projects include a library of Health and Cultural Competency training manuals for health care professionals working with South Asian populations.

As an established workshop leader, presenter and instructor I am proud to say I have a proven track record of successfully and consistently delivering results. My clients have varied from individuals experiencing personal life challenges to high profile media companies.

My diversity and inclusion workshops offer you the best in diversity thinking, education and practice including training in implicit bias and cross cultural communication and competencies in practice.

Implicit or Unconscious bias is a natural and necessary process that informs our personal and professional decisions daily. However, left unchecked it can be the ‘silent party’ that sabotages an organization’s best intentions for diversity and inclusion.

Decades of research shows that despite investing in some of the best diversity initiatives, organizations who do not understand the power of unconscious bias will struggle to be diverse and inclusive.

All our services incorporate unconscious bias as an essential part of our work with organization who are serious about diversity and inclusion

Workshops include learning about :

  • The nature of implicit bias, including its theoretical foundation

  • The ways in which bias can manifest in day-to-day functioning

How bias may affect our behavior and decision-making processes when living and working with culturally diverse individuals/populations

All of our programs are designed to specifically meet your unique needs. Workshops are fun and interactive to optimize learning
