Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing mission, and working together is key

We work with a range of specialists, organisations and collaborators who share our commitment to creating better workplaces. These relationships allow us to bring additional expertise to organisations when needed.

Why we work with partners

No organisation can solve every challenge alone.

Over the years we have built relationships with trusted professionals across areas such as:

  • mental health
  • marketing and SEO
  • leadership development
  • specialist inclusion topics

When appropriate, we connect organisations with these trusted collaborators.

I’m passionate about learning, inclusion, and strategy, particularly where they intersect to create meaningful and measurable cultural change. As a neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ professional, I understand the challenges of navigating workplaces that weren’t designed with everyone in mind, and I bring both lived experience and over a decade of expertise in learning and culture transformation to my work. 

Whitney Simon is a strategic communications leader with a decade of experience spanning the US and UK tech sectors. She’s dedicated her career to transforming workplace culture and embedding inclusion into how organisations work.

Whitney Simon

Being an openly transgender woman and a trans ambassador, I am on a mission to not only show that it’s OK to be trans, but it’s actually cool to be trans too!

Through my media appearances, public speaking engagements, blog, vlog, social media, trans awareness training courses and via support groups, my aim is to reach out to trans people who may be struggling with their gender identity, to reassure them and to lead by example.

In 2018 I founded #YesSheCan supported by a Gender Diversity qualification I have grown the business to be at the forefront of women empowerment, particularly in the UK Construction industry. At #YesSheCan we aim to inspire women to take the next step, put themselves forwards and have some underlying self-belief. Our mantra of “she believes, so she leads” is critical to breaking down the gender barriers.

What our clients have to say

Lisa Garner
Lisa GarnerL&D Manager
“It’s Just Banter”, encouraged us to reflect on how everyday language shapes the inclusivity and psychological safety of our workplace. Chris guided us through the latest updates to the Equality Act, helping us deepen our understanding of all protected characteristics and the vital role we each play in fostering a respectful, inclusive environment. Chris’s fun, engaging style, paired with his openness in sharing his own lived experiences made the session not only insightful but genuinely enjoyable. It sparked thoughtful conversations and gave us practical tools to embed inclusivity into our daily interactions.
