CONSULTING
Is your company pro-LGBTQ but uncertain how to navigate the current climate? There are a lot of moving pieces, but it is possible to:
Be an ally (hint: it goes way beyond selling pride merch and flying pride flags)
Stand in solidarity with LGBTQ people while keeping your employees safe
Create an effective crisis management plan
Support your LGBTQ employees and create an inclusive work environment
Educate and empower all of your employees
Get involved on a national scale to make a difference
You Have Options
There are many paths to success. We'll start big picture and narrow down to the smallest detail. I'll ask A LOT of questions...and then a lot more. I want your input! This isn't about me coming in and telling you how to change. This is a partnership that will ultimately create a beautifully diverse and inclusive environment where your employees can thrive. It will produce engaging, empowering, and enticing messaging for your customers. And, it will result in a healthy bottom line that C-Suite and shareholders alike will love.
In addition to full package consulting, you have the option to enhance one specific area at a time. Here are some examples:
Internally
Educational Workshops for specific departments
On Demand Educational series to offer to entire company
Become a sponsor for Chrysalis and let those actions show your solidarity
Externally
Messaging around allyship
Crisis Management plan
