APPROACH
GO BEYOND CHECKING BOXES.
Employees expect radical acts of inclusion. Therefore, we think comprehensively about every part of your organization — not simply the baseline reasons why DEI is good business — to design a sustainable, inspiring, and transformative path.
NO ROSE COLORED GLASSES HERE, FOLKS
We apply a Queer lens to the work we do. This means we center the voices and needs of those who typically end up at the end of the proverbial line. This will grant you a unique perspective for personal, professional, and organizational growth.
​
Our values influence our approach, starting with a practical way to get things going, right-sizing a strategy, and clearing a path for curiosity along the way.
OUR SUITE OF DEI SERVICES
We have a unique view on DEI, with an approach that is different from what you'll find out there. Dorothy grounds workshops by bringing people together to share ideas, spark creativity, ask questions, and get comfortable with multiple answers.
​
All of our services surround our q'd programming, which helps you earn credibility with employees and customers by showing you are committed to doing the work. But wait, that's not all: We also offer an assortment of online courses that help you score an A in inclusion.
q'd certification
q'd helps people investigate their identity, whether they are LGBTQ or not. It's about personal growth that improves how people show up at work. Through co-created modules, industry-leading techniques, and our own learning approach, you have 18 months of transformation that syncs and threads through your workspace effortlessly. Read more
Consulting
Our consulting clients get focused, 1:1 time to get a perspective on the challenges in front of them and also do a little big-picture dreaming. A Dorothy strategist helps you concentrate on what needs to be done to make your DEI work go to the next level. We have a background spanning industries and skills, like marketing, sourcing and procurement, HR benefits and healthcare; basically, Dorothy is hella-connected. Read more
workshops
Available online and in-person, the why/what/how of our work uses workshops as a place for discovery. We explore concepts like language, binary thinking, and gender in a hands-on, small-group format. Our time together is productively pragmatic, meaning we aren’t going to fluff things with nebulous, overly-academic ideas that are too obtuse to implement at your organization. Read more
THIS IS HOW
CHANGE HAPPENS
Dorothy believes that we should celebrate differences, not let them divide us. Along the way, sure, there will likely be uncomfortable moments; that’s OK! Through your policy changes, language shifts, and even advocacy, your organization is literally doing the work that helps inclusion go from idea to commonplace.
