DEIB Strategy Consulting

We are committed to cultivating diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments that foster a sense of belonging—both in the workplace and beyond. Our approach is rooted in intersectional systems change, allowing us to proactively dismantle barriers that hinder participation and access, particularly for those historically marginalized.

Like you, we aim to address root causes, not just symptoms. We recognize that effective DEIB efforts are a continuous journey of learning and growth. Our preference is to build long-term partnerships rather than quick-fix solutions; we aspire to walk alongside our partners through a co-creative and iterative process throughout this DEIB journey.

Our goal is to assist you in nurturing a culture that is inclusive and supportive, aligning closely with your values. We prioritize empowering your internal change-makers, ensuring they can confidently lead projects independently from us as soon as they are ready. We will remain by your side throughout this process, providing the support you need without leaving you adrift.

Together, we can create lasting change that resonates deeply within your organization and the broader community.

Dr. Fox’s authentic and integral approach to shaping cultures of belonging in the workplace was one of the many reasons we wanted to collaborate with them for a senior leadership training on the practice of inclusive leadership. What an honor to have them as keynote speaker, co-facilitator, and sparring partner! Particularly inspiring to me was Fox’s ability to create learning moments enabling deep self-reflection -encouraging participants to make the learnings personal, very practical, and always framed on theory.
