Build an Inclusive Workplace Culture
Awaken Everyone's
Full Potential

Whether you’re in the private sector, a government agency or a non-profit organization

Building an equitable workplace culture is not easy.

• Are you ready to make changes but don’t know where to start?
• Is your team tired of just talking about diversity and ready to take action?
Are your current DEI initiatives yielding poor results?
• Do you have good intentions and feel stuck on how to move forward?
Is your Board and leadership team slowing down your initiatives?

Do you have what it takes to build an inclusive workplace culture?

Most organizations want to build inclusive workplace cultures to ensure all team members feel valued and thrive, and to improve creativity, innovation and fiscal outcomes.

But while many have good intentions of creating a more inclusive workplace culture, most organizations fail because they lack the expertise and mindset to propel change. And the time and money wasted affects their bottom line, and many organizations simply give up.

You are not alone.

“Out of 250 North American Companies, 71% reported aspiring to have an ‘inclusive’ culture in the future where employees feel involved, respected and valued. However, only 11% of organizations reported having and inclusive culture today” (Bersin and Deloitte)

Testimonials

“We found Maria to be the perfect person to partner with.”

“Maria was easy to collaborate with. She catered her consultation and training to meet the needs and timeframes of our organization, while also challenging us to explore unchartered areas. Her delivery was wonderfully effective and skillful as she addressed our groups’ various levels of experience and understanding. Remote or in-person, Maria facilitated rich, interactive discussions that yielded tremendous learning. We continue to see improvement in our organizational culture as a result.” https://www.hoffmaninstitute.org/

– Matt Brannagan, Director of Faculty, Hoffman Institute

“My work with Maria was one of the most impactful coaching experiences I’ve had in my professional career.”

“As a woman of color in a leadership role, it has been hard, and often risky, for me to be vulnerable – but Maria made it safe for me to explore my IDI results and my identity as a source of strength. She helped affirm that the ways I am different from my peers should be celebrated, not hidden. The coaching from Maria has pushed me to become more self-aware and to operate as a more inclusive manager, and I’m so grateful for this experience.”

“With Maria’s help we have enhanced our office culture to ensure that all staff
can thrive and feel respected as unique individuals.”

“Her high levels of emotional intelligence and her thoughtful conversations with each of our staff members enabled her to lead engaging and relevant group trainings that were tailored to the needs of our office and, as a result, were highly effective.  Every staff member enthusiastically participated and understood why the training was important; the experience boosted our understanding and commitment to becoming a better, more supportive community of co-workers.”

“I have been very fortunate to work with Maria Velasco.”

“Maria provided our program with a comprehensive plan on how to incorporate EDI into our policies, processes and community engagement. She carefully worked with our program to establish needs, and to provide training specific to those needs.  Our staff has learned new ways of looking at health equity, cultural competencies and implicit biases.  Maria is a strong presenter, and creates a safe environment for all. I look forward to working with Maria on more projects in the future!”
