Go beyond diversity.

strategic and creative workshops, consulting and coaching for equity, inclusion and justice

Hi, I’m Leigh.

I’m a strategist, master facilitator and organizational development consultant. I work solo and with a team of collaborators to provide strategic consulting, coaching, workshops to develop critical and creative thinking while diving deep into issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. With over 25 years of experience, I have worked with thousands of leaders, organizers, activist and educators from around the world, supporting them as they address systemic power, privilege and oppression.
