DEI Training,
Coaching & Consulting
All of our offerings are customizable to your organization, industry, and particular needs-- nothing is completely ‘out of the box’. We pride ourselves on a ‘high-touch’ approach, making sure that you feel heard and supported at every point during our engagement.
Our training is built to effect real change. We focus on:
-
Facilitating discussions on ways to ‘move the needle’ -
Asking the difficult questions
-
How to think holistically about how DEI is woven into your organization
In-Person and Virtual Learning
All of our workshops can be offered either in-person or virtually. All of our workshops are typically limited in number of attendees, so each individual can receive one on one support and engagement with the facilitator. We cater to a variety of learning styles, ensuring that no matter who is in attendance, they will take away important learnings and awareness.
Virtual workshops allow for your remote and distributed teams to log in and learn together, in an engaging and interactive way, from the comfort of their own homes or offices. The virtual experience allows for one-on-one support through the use of video, visuals, audio, breakouts, and chat. Virtual workshops are conducted live but can be recorded for playback later, to review an important point or to share with a teammate who had to drop off early.
The SGO Approach
1
Customized
We tailor our vast content repository to your specific requirements, providing a framework for understanding concepts so that participants feel empowered to have conversations with colleagues outside of the training.
2
Action-Oriented
We provide effective tools and strategies to mitigate bias. Our training creates a lifelong learning experience and lasting change, from the bottom up as well as top-down.
3
Knowledgeable
Our educators have deep experience in the fields of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
4
Non-Judgmental
We create a safe space for meaningful, often difficult conversations, removing the fear of being “called out” or saying the “wrong thing”.
Who do we work with?
Our programming is aimed at a corporate audience and are intended to support and complement existing internal initiatives. We encourage employees at all levels and experience including hiring managers, recruiters, people managers, executives and directors to participate in these conversations.
