Hello! I’m Chris, founder of Your D+I. For nine years I’ve been working in diversity, equity and inclusionI started Your D+I with a clear mission, to make Equity, Diversity and Inclusion accessible for all. WE are not one for confusing jargon, complicated processes and gatekeeping information. Our workshops have been designed with anyone in mind, whether that is your teams, your senior leadership team or for you as an individual.
I’m aware that I am a 6 ft 4 white dude who works in this space, but with that I bring a wealth of knowledge from working with companies across multiple sectors as well as having a fantatsic collective of EDI professionals who share best practice. Why do we take this approach? No one can be one of everything and the whole point of what we do is to come together and make change.
Are you ready to book a free consultation and start your inclusion journey?
No jargon. No endless PowerPoints. No “look how woke we are” box‑ticking.
Our workshops are engaging, practical, and real. We tackle the stuff that actually matters—bias, banter, effective leadership, allyship, LGBT+ inclusion—while keeping things human (and yes, occasionally funny. I am a hoot I promise!).
With 9+ years in DE&I , after working with over 100 businesses across every sector we’ve seen it all—from performative pledges to genuinely transformational change. Add in lived experience, and we get why inclusion isn’t just a policy—it’s personal. That authenticity is why teams trust us to challenge and support in equal measure.
Plenty of consultancies will hand you a shiny report that gathers dust. We don’t. We give you clear, actionable steps to create culture change that sticks—audits that tell the truth, allyship that works in real life, and training that actually lands. We won’t just drop you after 6 months. We are here for the journey
Inclusive teams make 87% better decisions and outperform by 35%.
Diverse leadership can drive up to 19% more revenue from innovation.
Retention improves by 50% when employees feel seen, valued and safe.
Your people thrive, your culture grows stronger, and your business does better.
We run interactive workshops that actually get people talking (and thinking) – no boring slides, no box‑ticking.
Our sessions cover the topics that matter: Misogyny and Mental Health, LGBT+ Inclusion, Neurodiversity, It’s Just Banter – A Guide to Inclusive Language, and How To Be An Effective Ally
You can have them online, in person, or on‑demand. We will work with you and your teams, creating the most effective and comprehensive session. Our workshops are fun, interactive and will really get you thinking.
Most “DEI audits” give you a shiny report that no one ever reads. Ours don’t.
At Your D+I, we dig deep into how your organisation really works—your policies, hiring processes, culture, communications, and leadership behaviours. Then we tell you (kindly but honestly) where the gaps are and how to fix them.
Giving you the results to attract and keep diverse talent, improve employee engagement, and stay ahead in a world where inclusion matters more than ever, you need more than nice words.
No two organisations are the same, and neither are their inclusion challenges. At Your D+I, we provide bespoke DEI consultancy that meets you exactly where you are. Whether you’re just starting your inclusion journey or looking to take it to the next level, we’ll work with you to create practical, tailored solutions
Maybe you need support with a specific diversity and inclusion topic, or you know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Either way – that’s where we come in.
