Strategy and Coaching
DEI is an integral component for business success, but many companies lose revenue and talent because DEI isn’t ingrained in company policies and practices. As a result, Dr. E conducts a deep analysis to identify barriers to business growth, revenue generation, and talent success. Coaching augments these approaches by providing leadership a thought parter as the efforts unfold.
Strategic Planning and Development
DEI efforts across the nation tend to neglect the need to examine overall company structure, which can lead to these efforts being deemed as performative and therefore ineffective. Examining and addressing structure sustains the DEI strategy leading to a greater likelihood of success.
Recruitment Strategy
Diversity is a symbol of company values that positively impacts revenue and innovation. Dr. E has partners with companies to update the talent search process in the effort to attract diverse talent and provide an equitable experience for all.

Board Development
DEI strategies are effective when they begin at the top and are ingrained in the organizational ecosystem. Dr. E partners with organizations to integrate DEI into governance, offers guidance and insight that help organizations fulfill their goals, and tackle DEI related concerns. When leading board retreats, Dr. E elevates leadership teams to address current DEI trends.
Building and Developing Employee Resource Groups
A diverse executive team does not ensure a positive workplace environment. In analyzing online reviews written by employees of various companies, McKinsey found that although comments related to diversity were mostly positive, sentiment around leadership and inclusion were predominantly negative. Employee Resource Groups are essential in the efforts towards inclusion that talent needs to engage and thrive.
“In the years I have been working with her, I have found Dr. E to be incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, creative and insightful in addressing the many and complicated issues that are part of this work. She is also kind, generous, and nurturing of us often clueless people who want to learn to do better, making it easier to risk acknowledging our confusion, misunderstandings and mistakes; acknowledgment that is essential to our learning.”
