Consulting + Training

Customized advisory and learning experiences designed around your organization’s needs and context. We also help you build your Indigenous relations strategy, from procurement to partnerships with Indigenous communities and businesses.

Consulting

Someone outside your organization to help you think it through.

You may be at the beginning of your reconciliation journey and still working out where and how to start. We walk alongside you as you reflect on the models you could consider, taking into account your capabilities and your ambition.

Learning together, built around your organization

Every training is fully customizable to your organization.

Certification

Cultural Intelligence (CQ) Certification

Working across cultures with humility and confidence.

Develop the ability to understand cultural differences, question your own assumptions and adapt how you work across different people and contexts.

Using the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) model and its four dimensions, Drive, Knowledge, Strategy and Action, participants learn to better navigate intercultural situations and intentionally adapt their approach.

By the end of the training, each participant leaves with practical strategies and an action plan to strengthen their cultural intelligence and collaborate more effectively across diverse teams.

Certificate

Inclusive Recruitment Certificate

A hiring process where people feel seen, heard and valued.

Invites participants to examine recruitment through the lens of the candidate experience and recognize where bias and existing practices can influence who is attracted, evaluated and ultimately hired.

Through discussions, case studies and practical exercises, participants learn to mitigate bias, challenge their existing practices and make more inclusive and equitable hiring decisions.

This research-based training was co-developed with Professor Patricia Faison Hewlin of McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management.

Workshop

Workshop for Hiring Managers

Hiring practices that fully recognize Indigenous talent.

Prepares hiring managers to play an active role in recruiting Indigenous talent, from defining the hiring need through to the final hiring decision.

Participants learn to recognize practices that may unintentionally create barriers, conduct interviews that better recognize the skills and experiences Indigenous candidates bring, and create a culturally safe hiring experience.

By the end of the workshop, managers are better equipped to make informed hiring decisions and become true partners in your Indigenous recruitment strategy.

Workshop

Understanding the Diversity of Indigenous Identity

From awareness to action.

Understand why there is no single Indigenous identity or experience, and how history, systems, belonging and individual journeys shape the identities of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples.

Through reflection, discussion and workplace scenarios, participants learn to recognize how well-intentioned actions can create expectations, assumptions or additional responsibilities for Indigenous employees.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be better equipped to ask rather than assume, respect identity without trying to define it, recognize the whole person beyond their identity, and share responsibility for creating a respectful and inclusive workplace.

Workshop

Welcoming and Onboarding Indigenous Talent

An onboarding experience that honours individual identity.

Helps teams take a critical look at their current onboarding journey to identify practices that foster or may hinder a sense of belonging for Indigenous talent.

Participants explore key considerations for culturally safe onboarding, identify what they can keep, improve or create within their current approach, and leave with concrete actions as well as a practical guide featuring 50 ideas to create a more welcoming, inclusive and culturally relevant onboarding experience.
