Courageous Inclusion
Programmes
I have developed a series of courageous inclusion programmes to help leaders and teams to increase their awareness and skill in diversity, equity and inclusion. These include Courageous Conversations, Courageous Facilitation and the comprehensive Courageous Inclusion Development Programme.

These experiences give them an embodied understanding of how they can create environments which value equity and create inclusion.
