Culture Consulting (Plain Text-Accessible)

Culture Consulting

I am Dr. Batsheva Guy, a participatory coach, diversity professional, workshop facilitator, and program developer with extensive expertise in cultural evaluation, change management, inclusive leadership skills, and equity and inclusion. My mission is to help organizations create equitable and inclusive spaces through tailored workshops, assessments, and coaching. I have successfully collaborated with individuals, departments, and divisions across various sectors, including academic institutions, health centers, government agencies, nonprofits, and hospitals, to navigate cultural change effectively.

Are you struggling to create a truly inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and heard?
Do you find it challenging to navigate cultural change within your organization?
Are you looking to lead with equity at the forefront, but unsure where to start?
Could your organization benefit from a tailored strategy to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment?
Do you want to transform your workplace culture but need expert guidance to make it happen

If these questions resonate with you, my culture consulting services are designed to provide the guidance and tools you need.

By leveraging participatory methods, I help organizations like yours navigate the complexities of cultural change, fostering environments where inclusivity and equity are not just goals but lived experiences.

Whether you're looking to address unconscious biases, develop inclusive leadership practices, or implement sustainable cultural shifts, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to build a culture that reflects your organization's values and aspirations.
