Something I've been working on for a long time is almost here. 💛

My book *Trauma Sensitivity at Work: How to Lead Safe, Inclusive Teams* is out April 15th.

It's for anyone who leads people and has ever wondered what's really underneath someone's behaviour — and how to respond with care instead of consequence.

Some moments stay with you long after the work ends.

In Tbilisi, Georgia, I had the deep privilege of facilitating inclusive culture and United Nations’ Women’s Empowerment Principless (WEPs) workshops with private sector participants from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

We gathered to talk about policies, supply chains, and accountability. But what moved me most were the unscripted moments — quiet gestures that spoke volumes:

🌀 Teams collaborating across political and cultural divides with humility and care
🌀 A simple group photo becoming an act of shared visibility and trust
🌀 A soft ball passed hand to hand, ending each day to slow down together, with intention and respect

Grateful to UN Women Georgia team for co-creating these workshops and bringing folks across borders together with deep care and commitment.

"Neuroscience shows us that when fear runs the show, our rational brains go offline, and we can't make good decisions."

This is why the first R, emotional regulation, is critical for leaders in general, in particular those committed to leading DEI.

In the age of chaos, we can't let fear rule.

Check out my most recent article to learn a new roadmap for regulation and why the future of DEI is trauma-informed.

🚀Hot off the presses!

This month ALG Consulting is re-releasing our latest newsletter.

👐New to our work? ALG moves beyond traditional approaches to workplace respect, DEI and "anti-harassment" (a term I want to retire!)

💜We help build positive, consensual and respectful cultures, to help navigate differences across genders, background and opinions.

We bring everyone into the conversation, focusing on providing teams with proactive, rather than reactive, hashtag tools.

We equip teams with:
✅policies
✅workshops
✅implementation coaching for managers/HR and learning & development tools to bring your policies to life (job aids, guides, manuals etc!)

❓Curious on how we do this?

👇Read our latest newsletter on Linkedin to learn more.

Thank you Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC) for inviting our Founder, Adriana Leigh to give our flagship session on building a culture of respect at their Agents of Change event!

💪To move past polarization, we need a new communication "toolbox" to build respectful, consensual, inclusive relations across genders.

🧡Thank you to all participants who engaged their hearts, minds and willingness to learn.

Many of you have inquired on my approach/services, thank you for reaching out.

There is now a new article up on the ALG blog, for those wanting to better understand the kinds of the issues I have supported teams with, including:

➡️ Subtle manifestations of gender bias; folks taking credit for women’s work, speaking over etc.

➡️ Helping managers respond more supportively to complaints of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH)

➡️ Global, diverse, cross-gender teams in need of common guidelines on what respect is

➡️ Non-consensual behaviour at workplace celebrations, not taking “no” for an answer

Have you experienced any of these “pain points”?

Do you want to build a safer, respectful and more inclusive culture? Then I would love to hear from you.

Until we meet, take care of yourselves, and each other.

💡Honoured to have worked with UN Women Georgia and HRPA • Georgia on a new DEI manual in Georgia (first ever!) and first ever certification program for HR professionals in gender responsive and DEI workplace practices!

🚀Today and tomorrow I get to present to the first set of training participants on implementing their gender, diversity and inclusion strategies!

It is 2023 folks, can you believe it?

Equitable workplaces are built on a foundation of mutual respect and anti-harassment. We all know this in theory, but many still struggle to make this real in day-to day interactions.

The Dialectic Learning Snippets team and I co-created the new Respect in the Workplace program to help teams better prevent, recognize, and respond to workplace harassment and build a safer, more positive environment across genders and cultures.

We designed the program to cover important workplace anti-harassment topics. In addition to addressing common manifestations of sexual and gender-based workplace harassment, the program emphasizes identity intersections that make certain folks more susceptible to harassment.

Please do reach out to learn more! I would love to get to know all of you, and how I can support and co-create with your teams.
