Proven Solutions For Your Organization
Everyone deserves a helping hand, regardless of where your organization is on its inclusion journey. By giving your team actionable steps and practical tools, our customizable solutions can help to build a more inclusive workplace.
Utilizing our Handprints Heal Footprints® Framework, we take members of your organization from Awareness to Action to build a culture of dignity, respect, and inclusion for all. The framework revolves around the metaphor of "footprints" and "handprints," which, respectively, represent the negative and positive impacts we can have during our interactions with others.
We also recognize that effective communication plays a vital role in championing inclusivity. This process begins with learning about —and embracing— a variety of communication styles. Using the Flex-Comm Communication Style Assessment, we help individuals better understand their own communication style and how it shapes interactions with others so they can have more impactful conversations and nurture thriving connections. The assessment is available for individuals and teams.
“Herring Seminars & Consulting meet you wherever you are on your journey. Assuming only good intent—no blame, no shame—they gently lead you to a deeper understanding of what it means to embrace and celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion. They certainly made us better--as individuals, as leaders, and as an organization.”
