Spending time “on” your business VS “in” your business
If you’ve spent much time in the online space, you’ve likely heard the phrases spending time “on” your business and spending time “in” your business.
Feminism & Racial Equity
Have you ever thought about how feminism is focused on advancing one group of women and how often women of colour get left behind?
Creating inclusive & safeR spaces inside your group coaching programs
One of the things I love about what I do as a DEI coach and consultant is going into group programs to support their participants/clients. In particular those who identify as Black, Brown, Indigenous or people of colour.
The fear of doing DEI work
I took a poll recently from my audience about what gets in the way of them doing DEI work and guess what was at the top of the list?

The Do’s & Don’ts of Inclusive Language In Your Online Coaching Business

Moving past the need to tick a box and on to embodiment
When it comes to being an inclusive leader in your business, it is so much more than being provided with a list to check off to see how you are fairing. Or even a script to use when you encounter something you are not sure how to handle.
