WHAT CLIENTS SAY
This is really helpful; thank you. As a tech leader, I never thought of gender inclusion (or my privilege) from that angle. Very insightful.
I really want to say how much I appreciate you reminding me to focus on the things that matter to me - diversity / culture - that I don't ordinarily make time for.
I appreciate the gentle pushback on my blind spots. I'm learning. Can you tell I'm learning?!
Being met with compassion and listening and genuine dialogue enabled me to find my empathy again even in a charged and overly politicized workplace environment – and none of the work can happen without empathy!
Femily’s [1:1 Inclusion] Coaching was transformative for me. As a white-identifying, liberal woman, Femily met me where I was, ensuring I felt seen and heard. She encouraged me to evolve continuously, introducing customized tools and resources that addressed my workplace challenges, such as the discomfort in tough cross-racial conversations. Her approach not only facilitated deep reflection and empathic understanding but also empowered me to actively disrupt societal norms. Femily’s method, focusing on confronting discomfort and providing support, makes active participation in change undeniable and invaluable. I’m grateful for the experience and wish for her ongoing support both personally and professionally.
