A Call to Allyship: Celebrating LGBTQI+ Pride and Black Liberation

This June, we celebrate a richness of identities that make our community strong. From LGBTQI+ Pride Month to Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. June offers a powerful opportunity to reflect and celebrate progress made in the ongoing fight for equality and justice.

As champions of workplace inclusion, courageous and compassionate leaders are those who continuously improve. Continuous improvement calls for reflecting on being a better ally. Improvement begins by acknowledging the celebration of Pride Month as intersectional - recognizing the deep connection between LGBTQI+ Pride, and Black American liberation.

For more insights and information on being a better ally read my LinkedIn article here:

Let’s make June a month of celebrations and action. Together, we can create a more just and equitable world for all!

Workplace Inclusion Forum

Hosted by TextHelp

Read about Texthelp and their inspiring 2nd annual Workplace Inclusion Forum in New York City! I was fascinated by the discussions on how supporting neurodiverse employees also benefits neurotypical employees. For example, AI tools such as Grammarly and Rev, and Texthelp’s tools are assisting public school children globally. Texthelp is future-proofing our workplaces to attract and retain top talent.

Client Testimonial - Lucidity Health LLC

“I highly recommend using Coach Dora’s services. When I became overwhelmed trying to come up with an onboarding plan for my small business, I contacted Dora. She was responsive and assessed what was needed in the 30-minute introductory call, which was free. We communicated by email and video calls. She kept me up to date every step of the way and clearly explained the process. She went the extra mile doing research into employee laws and regulations for my state, was patient keeping me on task, and was reassuring considering my tight time constraints. With over a decade of experience in HR, she has a deep understanding of traditional approaches as well as current trends. She set up and streamlined my company’s HR functions on the online platform I am using by establishing a system to meet my startup’s present needs as well as focusing on future-proofing it for potential long-term growth. What I liked about Coach Dora’s services compared to a one-size-fits-all big box company was the customized approach and transparent pricing.”
