R.I.C.H. GROUP COACHING FOR DEI PROFESSIONALS

A 6-week program designed to improve DEI practitioners’ leadership skills and well-being while increasing your self-efficacy to create transformational change.

All over the news and social media, DEI is Under Attack.

Practitioners are being laid off at high rates. Those within organizations face challenges relating and communicating compassionate messages to diverse staff during difficult times. Practitioners are often under-resourced, forcing them to develop programs and policies with minimal impact.

This is not the time to back down and hope for the best. You need strategy, processes, and support so you can ensure that your organization is diverse and inclusive.

Just last week, I talked with an executive at a Fortune 100 company about how to create DEI 2.0 for his company. Even with the economy in shambles, he wants to do right by his people. Instead of laying off, he’s doubling down on efforts to make his workplace equitable and inclusive. His leadership is what makes the company so successful.

Just like I influenced him to level up, I want to help you be empowered to create change.

Using the R.I.C.H.™ approach to leadership, you are:

Don’t make the mistake I did…

When I started out, I really thought I knew it all. In fact, you couldn’t tell me I didn’t know how to have conversations about diversity. I’m a woman, and I’m Black. What else was there to know? I thought my lived experience was enough to provide organizations with strategies and resources to implement DEI programs and strategy. I spent hours dreaming up programs and hundreds of hours planning them. I thought I’d cracked the code!

That this would prove not only to myself but to my friends, family, and former coworkers, that I was the real deal. That I could do this.

So, imagine how surprised I was when I put on my first workshop and it flopped miserably.

As embarrassing as it was, my DEI program conundrum illustrates something YOU and MANY other aspiring, new, or even seasoned DEI professionals may be struggling with– not knowing what you actually need to turn your ideas and strategies into a reality.

Pouring your time and energy into the little external things that you think matter so much (whether it’s following DEI professionals on Linkedin, spending hours with ERGs, or reading books and articles about DEI, the list goes on!) only to find that they didn’t get you any closer to your goals.

And this often means that we neglect getting what we actually need — the inner work. That includes finding the courage that’s going to allow you to:

> Advocate for yourself and your work

> Make those big scary decisions

> Take consistent action toward your goals

> Having the accountability we need

ALL things that can ACTUALLY make or break your DEI career.

It can be really hard to tap into, especially when you’re trying something totally new, and you feel like you’re doing it on your own.

Dr. Venessa Marie Perry

Founder & CEO

I’m Dr. Vee! I’m on a mission to develop and empower the next generation of DEI practitioners to dismantle systems of oppression and ensure equity, diversity, and inclusion in organizations.

A psychologist, organizational consultant, and coach with over 25 years of experience in racial equity, diversity and inclusion, change management, and leadership development for corporations, non-profits, and government, I’ve been featured in Forbes, Thrive Global, and Huffington Post, and I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies in the world.

I created RICH™ DEI Group Coaching because I want to help you navigate the DEI landscape and provide you with a container of support that will add to your personal and professional well-being.

"Working with HRS enabled me to answer a nagging question that I’ve had since college. ‘Why am I here and what is my purpose?’ Venessa has the uncanny ability to ask probing questions and see things that you do not. She epitomizes what a coach should be, providing observations, feedback, helping to develop action plans and accountability for your progress. My goal was to create a vision for the future and a plan to move forward. With Venessa’s help that was accomplished and I am ever so grateful."

"Venessa is very thorough and committed to those whom she works with! She is solution focused and determined to see the process to completion. Every encounter with her will cause you to reach higher. Thank you!"

Here’s what’s included:

Weekly live group coaching calls where 2-3 people will be on the hot seat to discuss an issue they’re dealing with.
Mindset coaching to talk through any blocks you’re experiencing.
Tools and worksheets to expedite your learning, and a dedicated Google Drive for review of documents.
Access to Dr. Vee through Slack and WhatsApp between calls.

These group sessions allow leaders to ask questions, and receive feedback and coaching in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

By the end of our 6 weeks together, you will:

Get energy back by having a network of support who can support your mindset and work.
Get back time by tapping into a community to help you develop and create strategies and programs.
Improve your mental well-being and mindset with mindfulness practices.
Feel confident about sharing your successes and challenges with a group of people that believe in what you do and the impact you are making on the world.
No longer feel like you have to do it alone because you are supported by other DEI professionals.
