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 am an academic at University of Witwatersrand and Cape Peninsula University involved in curriculum development for social justice, diversity workshops using a variety of methodologies, and university organisational development. Long-term interventions include transformation strategy development, institutional power mapping, culture surveys, and Leading Diversity sessions.

Corporates

I provide keynote speeches and diversity workshops for corporate clients on race, gender and team culture. Focusing on the connection between institutional and individual change in diversity and transformation processes, I help people re-thread social relations and transform conflict while highlighting social inequality, its underpinning structures and injustices in the workplace and everyday life.

Schools

I provide long- and short-term diversity and social justice interventions for private and public schools in South Africa that include learners, parents, teachers, support staff and school management. I also support mediation and crisis management efforts, and developed a Diversity and Social Justice Curriculum currently being implemented at a private school in Johannesburg.

Development Organisations

I facilitate dialogue and diversity workshops with non-governmental and development organisations, and help teams co-create across difference and work towards the same goal while implementing socially just processes that build equity for all. Sessions include how to decolonise aid, white supremacy in the NGO sector, and engaging project beneficiaries with dignity.
