Building better organisations through luminary DEI practice
Equity Focused Professional Learning, Consulting and Coaching
When we engage with equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace
We say “Yes” to addressing our institutional hiding spots and our shadows
Our willingness to engage here, where there may be discomfort, and our willingness to shine a light on our practice in these areas is the measure of our organisational courage and our ability to provide safe harbour.
The Being Luminary Programme
The Being Luminary Programme supports leaders in building a culture to be proud of. Our programme is designed to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging and is able to bring all aspects of their identities to the organisation.
We understand the importance of addressing minoritised identities and the intersections between them. That's why we take a holistic account of all identities and help you shape a strategy that promotes belonging for all.
Our programme is built on the wisdom of many, not just the energies and ingenuity of a few. It is a group programme that allows you to get to know your team better and learn about each other's identities and value systems as they apply to DEI within a collaborative setting.
In both content and approach, our programme teaches you how to create a culture to be proud of.
