Proactive Employee Listening Sessions (Courage Conversations) - InfiniDEI creates a safe space for employees to express their open and honest feedback regarding company culture, growth opportunities, corporate values alignment, and leadership satisfaction. Listen to stories and experiences of women and BIPOC to discover how diversity, equity and inclusion are experienced across all teams. Topics can vary depending on organizational needs and pricing is dependent on the number of groups and the frequency of sessions.

Common Questions:

  • What are the conditions (policies, programs) that may sustain white, male, hetero, cis, and/or able bodied power and presence within our teams and work?

  • In which situations have you felt things to be unfair and unsafe?

  • When have you felt unable to show up authentically?

Take a proactive approach in gathering feedback from your people vs. waiting to learn about troubling experiences in exit interviews.

Consulting Testimonials

  • “We hired Tara to develop and facilitate Leadership Training for our Insides Sales and Service team in Q4 at CarGurus.  Since day one of our partnership, Tara has brought immediate value.  Not only is she a natural facilitator and content creator, but she’s also been an invaluable thought partner as we considered how best to develop an impactful learning journey.”

    -Leigh Nicholas, Senior Learning Partner at CarGurus

  • “Working with Tara was great, she was a true partner when it came to determining our leadership training plan. She didn't come with cookie cutter content that we had no say in - instead, she shared it with us ahead of time to gather feedback and was very open to changing things as needed beforehand. This was the first time we've done anything like this for our sales and service leaders and we loved the fact that it gave them space to share their thoughts/feelings, learn from one another, and do a lot of self-reflection. In a time where we're experiencing so much change and challenge, providing this safe space to our leaders showed that we are invested in them and their success...not just our sellers.”

    -Tonya Montella, Manager, Sales Enablement, CarGurus

  • “We started working with Tara in early 2021 with the hope to bring a mentorship program to our Company. We turned to her in a time of desperation as we had already been remote for a year due to COVID-19 and we wanted to continue employment engagement. Tara worked with us every step of a way and created an incredibly successful mentorship program for our Women's ERG. Employees feel comfortable going to her for advice and she's an invaluable partner to our Company. I truly cannot imagine standing by anyone else during this process, I cannot recommend Tara enough! Thank you, Tara, for your honesty, collaboration, and partnership!”

 How are you creating space for and encouraging employees to talk about stress, anxiety, burnout, and other forms of workplace distress?

New research suggests a solution. Using "relational pauses"—a concept rooted in social psychology, that creates a break from on-going task work to bolster genuine and authentic connections between employees that enable individual well-being.

LET’S CREATE THIS, TOGETHER.

According to Gallup data, only 18% of managers have the talent required for their roles. Most managers are hired based on legacy rather than skills. Many of them have the capacity to support, motivate, and empower a team if developed properly, but that takes time and investment.

THAT’S WHERE I COME IN TO HELP.
