Comprehensive approach to inclusion for academic, research, and scientific organizations
The CoDE to inclusion
We all have unique identities, experiences, and ways of thinking. The CoDE approach - co for cognitive, d for demographic, and e for experiential diversity - is central to my assessments, strategies, and training. This framework empowers organizations to integrate varied perspectives and highlight individual strengths by embracing these interconnected areas of difference.
Cognitive diversity includes variation in how we perceive and process information - such as how we learn, remember, focus, solve problems, make decisions, and interact with others.
Demographic diversity refers to intersectional identities across age, disability, family and civil status, gender identity and expression, Indigeneity, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, and more.
Experiential diversity includes individual lived experiences through education, work, family, locations of residency, travel, trauma, personal hardships and successes, hobbies, interests, and more.
Structured, data-driven assessments
Conduct multidimensional research to determine where your organization is excelling, as well as key areas for optimization. Scientific research practices are integrated throughout my assessments, including:
A detailed review of organizational and industry-specific background information to inform the data collection and analysis processes.
Standardized data collection procedures across the organization and multiple data collection methods (e.g., surveys, interviews) to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be heard and bias is minimized.
Customized assessment tools to collect data relevant to your organization’s activities.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis along with data visualization to uncover key results and bigger-picture patterns that reflect your organization’s current equity, diversity, and inclusion reality.
Creative strategy and learning designed with your team in mind
Spark a lasting commitment to inclusion by implementing a strategic plan and learning experiences built specifically for your team. We’ll focus on your organization’s specific needs and strengths, and facilitate long-term success by integrating modern research on how our brains learn, remember, build habits, and connect with others.
Coming from a research background, I focus on evidence-based strategies and building an understanding of why they work. You’ll learn about the importance of inclusion, from the societal level to the cellular level, and how its positive effects resonate from the individual brain to organizational success.
