I facilitate transformative workshops, host and moderate panels, and provide keynote speeches for corporates, universities, schools and non-governmental organisations. I am regularly quoted in media on issues of diversity, social cohesion, reconciliation and social justice.

Facilitation is the process of holding space for groups of individuals figuring out how to share space together in ways that are equitable and foster belonging.

My work is about accompanying individuals and groups in their journey towards building a community that embraces diversity and values all members of a team. I have been trained in various coaching and facilitation methodologies to facilitate trauma-informed, difficult conversations on race, class and gender, including Digital Storytelling, Gender Reconciliation, Open Design, Constellations, Time to Think, and Design Thinking, among others. Over the past ten years, I have developed a unique methodology, Rehumanising Dialogue for Change, that addresses what I believe are the four key tenants of fostering a safe and inclusive space for learning: Emotional Grounding, Storytelling, History, and Tools for Dialogue.

Universities

I provide Leadership Training for new Heads of Department, Team Building Workshops and other Organisational Development Workshops and processes including Institutional Mapping and strategy workshops at universities across South Africa. I have been a media academic at University of Witwatersrand and Cape Peninsula University (CPUT) where I was also involved in curriculum development for social justice. This work led to an academic project on student staff partnerships . I have facilitated workshops including conducting a white privilege walk with more than 200 student leaders and running workshops with university residence leaders focused on race, gender and social cohesion in the academic space. I have also developed curriculum interventions at various departments including in an architecture department, where we looked at the ways in which social justice conversations can be integrated into built environment training and development, which was reflected in an academic article. I have also run decolonising the curriculum workshops at a fashion school and other university departments which focus on how to build socially and contextually relevant curriculum while building healthy student staff relationships and classroom experiences. I have also led Heads of Department Leadership Training and department workshops to support social cohesion and team building. Other long-term interventions supporting institutions with strategy development, institutional power mapping and culture and value surveys.

I provide keynote speeches and diversity workshops for corporate clients on race, gender and team culture.
