Make your differences
a competitive advantage

Effective DEI strategies that meet you where you are.

No matter where your organization stands in its DEI journey, Pope will help you navigate the landscape better than anyone else. Our assessments, dynamic training sessions, coaching, and consulting help you create an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued.

Contact us for a free initial consultation.

The goal is to create long-lasting, sustainable change, which requires:
1

Making system-wide changes that include everyone from the CEO to the newest team member.

2

Empowering your team with the skills to be more inclusive and manage unconscious bias in the workplace.

While the best, most enduring cultural change is supported by all four approaches—Organizational Assessment, Coaching and Consulting, Training and Education, and Inclusion CoachesTM—we recognize that not every organization is able to make that level of commitment. Pope will customize a plan to maximize the impact of your DEI program.

Coaching and Consulting

These system-wide services are focused on the complete organization. Guided by a DEI Maturity Analysis that evaluates your organization’s structure, systems, processes, and practices through a DEI lens, we will help your organization establish and sustain an effective DEI strategy that increases overall job satisfaction and improves your bottom line.

Coaching

One-on-one coaching provides a safe and confidential environment for individual learning. It’s a practical and efficient solution for individual team members who may experience knowledge or skill gaps that directly impact their work and their team’s performance.

Our one-on-one coaching focuses on four areas:

1

Performance
Improving current performance.

2

Development
Improving adaptability and
confidence.

3

Crisis
Providing immediate support in
dealing with a DEI-related situation.

4

Relationship
Improving relationships
through DEI.

Coaching Circles

Our Inclusive Leadership Coaching Circles provide additional training for teams that have completed our Inclusive Leadership program. They not only reinforce the strategies your managers learned, but also provide support on real-time issues and give advice on integrating the new inclusive habits into leadership styles.

Consulting

Based on our extensive experience with DEI in the workplace, our consulting efforts are geared toward helping organizations elevate the structural and systemic elements of their DEI infrastructure. As is inevitable, people and organizational priorities will change. Organizations that have a strong DEI infrastructure will be positioned to experience the most sustainable success through these changes. We provide immediate support if your organization needs help dealing with an urgent DEI-related situation.

Client Testimonial

I would highly recommend the “Inclusive Workplace Training” online course.  All of our employees completed DEI training with Pope Consulting.  The training helped employees become more aware of the impact of unconscious bias and other barriers to inclusion, and more importantly, provided tools to positively impact behaviors – in the course evaluation, nearly 90% Strongly Agreed or Agreed that they would be able to apply what they learned from the Inclusive Workplace online course.   This engaging course has been an important element of our overall DEI strategy to strengthen our workplace culture and empower our people in pursuit of our mission.

Amy Russell, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
GTI Energy

The Inclusive Workplace training created a shared understanding of what diversity and inclusion means and looks like—a foundation from which we can all grow. Most importantly, participants left with concrete, practical steps to create and sustain an inclusive workplace through their everyday actions.

SRC, Inc.

My name is Chris Thomas and I have been a domestic and international general manager for several fortune 100 companies like P&G and Frito Lay. A couple decades ago, I had the opportunity to work closely with Pope Consulting to deliver diversity and inclusion training to all P&G managers and leaders in the Sales Division.  It was tremendously well-received and something that has ‘stuck’ with me ever since.  Their new digital training course for individual contributors is equally impactful and extremely well done. Whenever I have the opportunity to recommend to companies who can help drive their DEI efforts to unprecedented levels, Pope Consulting is the first firm that comes to mind!

The Inclusive Workplace digital course was an engaging experience and provided practical tools for my colleagues and I to be more inclusive.
