Identity Integrated Teams:
WORKSHOP

  • This half-day to two-day immersive experience is for teams ready to do the deeper work. It centers identity not just as a label—but as a framework that informs values, beliefs, and workplace behavior. Jo challenges the notion of “leave it at the door” and invites teams to instead examine how personal lived experiences influence success, culture, and cohesion.

  • Participants explore:

    • The roots of their beliefs and values

    • How misaligned group values create fractures

    • Why inclusion efforts fail when they’re not rooted in actual lived realities

  • Starting at $2,500. In Person Only.

LGBTQIA+ Inclusion:
WORKSHOP

  • This workshop is an entry point into authentic LGBTQ+ allyship. Jo grounds the session in history - from Stonewall to present, pop culture, and lived experience.

  • Participants learn the difference between intention and inclusion, explore modern LGBTQ+ terminology, including pronouns and gender-neutral language, and unpack the systemic forces impacting queer, trans, and nonbinary communities—especially in the workplace.

  • Starting at $1,000. In Person or Virtual.
