ORGANIZATIONS WE’VE HELPED:
OUR actionable strategies create real change.
“Thank you for writing such an informative guide... so many of us - myself included - need to take responsibility for educating ourselves. AND, it also helps when we can learn from those we trust, who are patient and willing to allow us to learn, and to listen. Some of my biggest takeaways: Be ready to listen, to take individual responsibility, and to do the work for a year (at least... and not only this week or this month!) It may be uncomfortable, but we can't be afraid to address the elephant in the "race" room. Thank you.”
CAROL SCHULTE — CEO The Brav Institute
“Thank you Karlyn. Sound and much appreciated advice at a time when it’s much needed. Thanks for all that you are doing and for your commitment to this important work.”
PATRICK NANGLE — CEO, MODO
“Great actionable strategies.”
REEM GEDEON — Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Market Development at LifeWorks

COMING SOON — BIPOC PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY GUIDE.
“People of colour are an engine of Canada’s economy, yet they continue to face some of the workplace’s most entrenched hurdles, such as near invisibility in top leadership roles, pay inequities, and discrimination. Over time, these challenges take a heavy toll, impacting employees’ health and well-being. In times of talent and skill scarcity, companies must take intentional action to create empowering work environments that value people for their uniqueness and drive their intent to stay.”
