Our Team
Meet the Belonging Pioneers
We are the belonging pioneers. We are a group of visually and non-visually diverse, experienced, facilitators, coaches and consultants. We specialise in different areas: some of us are experts in recruitment others are experts in internal and external communication. Here you will meet the nine of us who work most closely together. We have a network of over 200 Associates around the world. We think it's important to be diverse in our team so that when we come to work with you, we can bring you the team that most closely reflects what you are looking to accomplish in your equity diversity, inclusion and belonging goals, whether that's a part of your environment, social Governance (ESG) Initiative or not, and whether it relates to your corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives or not. What we do is we facilitate senior leaders and their colleagues to gain the clarity and the confidence they require to affect the sustainable change for equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging that they are looking to achieve.
We would love to explore how what we know and what we bring and our lived experience could contribute to your organisation.
