Available courses include
The Talent Blueprint
Recruitment and Onboarding
The Talent Blueprint is a results-focused workshop designed to help employers attract, hire, and retain the right people. We’ll walk through effective recruitment strategies – from crafting the right job posting to selecting the best fit—and explore onboarding practices that set new hires up for success from day one. Whether you’re building your hiring process from scratch or looking to improve what you already have, this session will give you clear steps, proven techniques, and actionable insights to strengthen your workforce from the start.
The Bias Filter
Unconscious Bias Training
The Bias Filter is an engaging workshop that helps employers recognize how unconscious bias can influence decisions in recruitment, performance management, and beyond. We’ll explore the different types of bias—where they come from, how they show up in everyday workplace situations, and the subtle ways they shape judgment. Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, participants will learn how to identify bias in their processes and take meaningful steps to reduce its impact. The goal: more fair, consistent, and effective decision-making across your organization.
Performance with Purpose
Performance Management
Performance with Purpose is a discussion-based workshop that explores how effective performance management can drive both individual growth and organizational success. We’ll cover why performance management matters, how to make it meaningful, and what it takes to create a culture where people are aligned, supported, and accountable.
Participants will learn how to set clear goals, deliver constructive feedback, and evaluate performance fairly—all while fostering inclusion and minimizing bias. Whether you’re leading a team or shaping HR practices, this session will help you build a performance approach that’s clear, consistent, and grounded in purpose.
Success Through Inclusion
D.E.I. and Business Strategy
Success Through Inclusion is a business-focused workshop that explores how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) contribute to stronger performance and better results. We’ll look at why inclusive workplaces outperform their peers, the real ROI of diversity, and what it takes to turn good intentions into meaningful action.
Participants will walk away with proven strategies, tools, and checklists to help embed inclusion into hiring, team dynamics, and day-to-day operations. Whether you’re just starting your DEI journey or looking to build on existing efforts, this session offers clear steps to create a workplace where everyone can thrive—and where your business does too.
Retain to Gain
Retention
Retain to Gain dives into why employee retention is critical to your organization’s success and how to make it work for you. We’ll cover how to measure and evaluate your current retention rates, identify key factors that influence employees to stay or leave, and explore practical strategies to improve your retention ratio.
This workshop will equip you with tools and insights to create a workplace where people want to stay, grow, and contribute—helping you reduce turnover costs and build a stronger, more stable team.
