Successful public relations/marketing professionals and business owners embrace diversity and inclusion as core values and use an equity lens to build their company culture and communication strategies every step of the way.

With years of guest service management experience at the Walt Disney Company and a lifetime of social justice activism and education, I can deliver a unique blend of customer service and equity/inclusion training and consultation that will give you a competitive edge in your marketplace.

In typical workshops, I cover:

  • How institutional and systemic racism marginalize people of color

  • How to be more culturally conscious as you develop your communications and customer service plans

  • How implicit bias affects your communications and customer service approach

  • Microagressions and how to avoid them in the workplace

  • What an equity lens is and how to develop your own

  • What not to do in your next campaign

Contact me today to discuss your training or culture change needs.
