Inclusivity Consulting Group provides customized services to satisfy the needs of our clients. As a result, what we do with clients is as different as our clients themselves. While most of what we offer is engaging of the whole person, we generally do not do traditional classroom style training. Instead we utilize numerous forms of experiential learning combined with process facilitation and create powerful learning opportunities that deeply impact our participants.

We are more like artists than technicians as we work arm in arm with our clients to create useful educational opportunities that bring out the best in everyone.

Our services fall in any one or combination of the following three areas:

RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT -- services which enhance interactions and motivate individuals through short-term events. Examples include energizing, incentive/reward, networking and team building one time events.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT -- training in skills and competencies that results in improvement of personal, team and organizational effectiveness. Examples include diversity awareness building sessions, communication skills training, leadership coaching, performance management and conflict resolution.

CONSULTATION/INTERVENTION -- services that address change in and alignment to values, mission, business purposes and the systems, structures and processes which support them. Examples include diversity culture change initiative, and long-range or strategic planning.

RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Team Development Programs
Inclusivity team development programs focus upon encouraging people to see opportunities for optimum performance. These fun and engaging programs range in length from half to all day. We custom design these events to combine fun, relationship building and awareness raising.

Many of our current client's first Inclusivity experience was to contract us to develop a team development program as a part of a longer planning meeting. We conduct these events all over the world- indoors or out during all seasons.

Meeting Energizers
You are ready with a full agenda, but now need to set the tone for a successful meeting. Or you need to fill the gaps between multiple sessions to keep their audience involved. Or you wish to relieve the after-lunch blues. We suggest Inclusivity meeting engenizers - short, interactive, fun activities to engage the group in positive, productive ways. They serve as beginnings, transitions, and endings. They celebrate people and their successes. They bring unforgettable closure to the meeting or the day. We customize meeting energizers to match the tone of the meeting. You may choose icebreakers to mix and engage people creatively, movers and shakers to raise energy levels, team challenges to encourage problem-solving, celebrations to recognize a person or a group, or closings to top off your session creatively. We'll make sure each member of your group feels included and valued during these sessions. Our purpose is to make your meeting more effective in reaching its goal.

We work with people to build alliances with their colleagues, transcend communication barriers and together create an environment which supports creative thinking, with little fear of rejection. We believe that collaboration enables goal setting and planning to be more effective. We work with isolated or competing factions to gain their appreciation for each other's contributions, increasing collective ownership in projects. The resulting productivity gained ultimately enhances an organizations performance.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT SERVICES
Workplace Inclusion
Respecting issues of diversity and differences in work place experiences have come to the fore in our society. Changing demographics in the work force are bringing employees together who are increasingly diverse in their ethnicity, gender, physical ability, age and lifestyle. This diversity sometimes leads to an intense environment. Inclusivity works with you to speak to these sensitive and important issues, creating an atmosphere which works to embrace and support all members of an organization. We open the door for seeing, understanding, and appreciating difference and assisting in the development of mutual trust and respect. Personal and organizational strategies are employed to promote improved communication and alliance building.

We work to help individuals recognize and address institutionalized classism, racism, sexism, heterosexism as well as other "isms". As individuals begin to unwind their own conditioning around the "isms", they build pride and self-confidence, celebrating difference as a valued strength and resource.

We can offer one time diversity awareness sessions for groups from 15 to 50 or multiple workshops that span a year or longer. These sessions range in length from a half to three or more days. Like everything we do, each program is custom designed to specifically met each client's needs.

Visionary Leadership
Inclusivity approaches the leadership challenge with a fresh eye. Leaders learn to accept "learning" as a process, discovering how to facilitate the unfolding process in their organizations, groups and work teams. In this way, leaders learn to encourage the remarkable abilities of others: opportunities are offered, rather than performances demanded. We focus our leadership consultation on providing tools to leaders to inspire a shared vision. Rather than concentrating on methods, we turn the examination inward, enabling each individual to identify barriers within themselves that block their ability to empower others. Inclusivity leadership consultations focus upon how leaders can maximize individual contributions within each group's unique dynamics. We encourage leaders to learn to encourage risk taking, support innovation and advocate others to learn. It is in this way they are able to set direction for a shared vision and align others in support and attainment of that vision.

Meeting Facilitation
Inclusivity works with our clients to clarify what they wish to accomplish - to accelerate personal and organizational communication and understanding, to create a common vision and core values for their organizations, to develop a set of operating principles, to launch a planning process, or to achieve better company alignment. Working as partners with executives, managers, and meeting planners, Inclusivity helps our clients define and produce the outcomes desired from training sessions, meetings, and retreats. Our goal is making sure our efforts together translate into real accomplishment in the workplace.

We customize meeting programs in harmony with the culture and meeting objectives of our clients. Indoor and outdoor settings add flexibility and interest. We work together to achieve our clients' goals. Facilitation can range from a half day session for a management team of 5 to a multi-day event with 100 or more participants.
