Creating inclusive cultures
Cultivate Empathy
We empower
leaders to build long-lasting rockstar teams.
Let's get to work!
Inclusion is a Culture of EQ
Dominant culture is not inclusive today, but culture is fluid. To create a culture of inclusion, we need to normalize new behaviors that create safe spaces. These include being self-aware, less judgmental, and actively accountable. Leaders with these skills encourage their teams to be more Authentic and to create Belonging.

How are We Different?
I have been exactly where you are – ready to run away because you said "yes" to so much that you are feeling resentful and on the verge of blowing your life up. Let's work together to reset your priorities, set healthy boundaries, and make self-care a more frequent experience.
It's time to trust Yourself
10 years of attenuating cultural transformations from within organizations gives us important frameworks for our programs. We know exactly how to engage, connect with, and inspire a group to become the catalysts required to shift your organizational culture. Our work is informed by Cultural and Applied Anthropology.

Our work
Candice's journaling process enabled me to put a name to a difficult emotion I had not been fully aware of, and discover the meaning I attach to that emotion. By orienting me to a place of compassion for myself instead of blame, the journal cleared a path for me to work towards wholeness.

Candice provided great insight on how to create a high Emotionally intelligent inclusive culture in the workplace. By providing real world examples, she guided us through observing and different ways to identify, create belonging and improve situations. She also provided a list of resources to develop these skills through learning and practice. These tools will be valuable for our members as we return back to the workplace in the near future and also in everyday life situations!
–Mitra, Healthcare Businesswomen's Association
As a Project Manager leading project teams, Candice provided me with great insights to continue to motivate my teams and create an inclusive environment. She gave us a list of resources and key areas to hit to create an inclusive culture within our teams. This workshop really helped me to identify any gaps I have and to improve. I would recommend her workshop to anyone new or experienced
with leading a team.
–Nicole, Genentech
“Getting to meet and be coached by Candice is a bright spot of 2022 for me, and the things I learned and how I grew during our sessions will affect me for the rest of my life - no exaggeration. Candice has the uncanny ability to be both comforting and challenging in the same breath - and while she certainly pushed me, it was always just to the point of the potential she saw, not more or faster for the sake of it. I felt seen, heard, supported, challenged, and encouraged during every session.”
- Tiffany, coaching client
During the course of the program, participants will be expected to develop their self-awareness and to reflect on how these new skills are impacting their work.

Why do specific people drive you crazy? How well do you handle criticism? What is your reaction to failure?
Do you feel seen?
Self-awareness is the practice of understanding our emotional responses to situations. Perhaps the most transformative EQ element, self-awareness is the wellspring of empathy and compassion.
We'll be in touch soon!
Thank you!
In 2019, I had one of those lightning-bolt moments, where I heard my soul shouting, "you need to do more! You need to cultivate more empathy in the world!" It took a little time to understand what that actually meant, but eventually I understood it to mean this:
passionate about cultivating empathy
our story
Everyone wants to belong, but we often mistake it for 'conformity'. True belonging requires more authenticity and empathy, but a whole lot less judgment.
- Candice, Founder and CEO
People who want to create more equitable, diverse, and inclusive spaces often don't know what to actually do. Focusing on the foundational elements that will make inclusion more normal is something everyone can do. It's a skillset that I've been teaching and coaching for years, so it's something I can contribute to this social transformation.
Because Inclusion is a Culture of EQ
