Word around town

"Sheree is a dynamic force who champions a more inclusive and equitable world through her role at Google and beyond. I was thrilled to have Sheree speak at GA’s International Women’s Day event and the way that she engaged the standing room only room! At GA, she was able to use stories from her personal journey to relate to a diverse audience of women and underrepresented groups and share applicable steps to create a better future."

“In our privileges, we are all continuously hurting each other.” It was the first time I had seen any EDI speaker really break down the fourth wall and engage with their audience as equals. I was doubly amazed because there seems nothing harder, nothing that conjures more defense or stonewalling, than making listeners think critically about their own privilege, and Sheree had somehow done it en masse. It goes without saying, after the Summit, Sheree’s name was heard giddishly exchanged among team and audience members alike. She had stolen the show."

“Sheree has a unique ability to bring about self reflection in regards to very difficult content such as race and diversity. Her words carry such power and she shares her knowledge in such a way that it truly inspires others to want to "do better'. I have always considered myself an ally but have realized how far I have to go. Thank you Sheree for showing me ways that I can do better and teaching me when to stand and when to sit to give space to others"

WORKSHOPS
What do I need to know?
Interactive learning with practical application and takeaways. Workshops are created to accommodate people of varying levels of DEI expertise as well as cross-functionally. *These can be adapted to accommodate larger audiences.
STRATEGY
What's the plan?
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion do not happen without intentional action. Strategic Consulting is for leaders of teams, departments, and/or companies who need support in identifying key focus areas and creating a strategy, OKR's, or a roadmap.
COACHING
What is your role?
People are now held more accountable for the impact they have on employees, consumers, their family, and the world. 1:1 Coaching is a great place to start when you don't know where to or just need support in your next step.
