Evidence-based DEI that works in practice, not just on paper
PhoenixRize works with organisations where inclusion carries reputational or regulatory risk—screen and creative industries, higher education, public bodies, and funded organisations across Ireland and Nigeria.
The Framework
Diagnose. Develop. Embed.
- My approach follows a simple framework. I help you see what's actually happening, build practical capability to respond, and create systems that hold when pressure increases.
- I work with organisations where inclusion carries reputational or regulatory risk—screen and creative industries, higher education, public bodies, and funded organisations across Ireland and Nigeria.

Diagnose
See the risks before they escalate
Most culture problems don’t start as crises. They start as patterns—staff staying quiet in meetings, the same voices always heard, turnover concentrated in specific teams. By the time you see the risk, trust is already broken. I surface what’s happening before it escalates into complaints, formal disputes, or reputational damage.
Culture Audits
- Confidential staff consultations (hear what people won't say publicly)
- Leadership interviews to understand current culture and challenges
- Policy and system review (what's written vs. what's actually happening)
- Pattern analysis across hiring, promotion, complaints, and turnover
- Written report with prioritised recommendations (not vague suggestions)
- 90-day action plan with clear owners, timelines, and next steps
Focus Groups & Report Writing
- Structured focus groups to surface staff experience and concerns
- Thematic analysis of what's working and what's not
- Written report with findings, conclusions, and recommendations
- Presentation of findings to leadership team
Production Inclusion Audits
- Pre-production culture risk assessment
- On-set culture reviews (confidential crew consultations)
- Post-production debrief and recommendations

Build capability to respond
Awareness training doesn’t change behaviour. People need practical tools they can use in the moment—what to say when someone makes a microaggression, how to respond when a team member raises a concern, how to intervene as a bystander. I equip your teams with usable language and real-world scenarios so they can respond with confidence when things happen.

Make change stick
Policies don’t change behaviour—systems do. I help you build accountability that doesn’t rely on everyone being “nice” or “well-intentioned.” Clear standards, visible consequences, and follow-through that shows people their concerns are taken seriously.
Policy Development
- EDI policy development or review
- Complaint and grievance procedures
- Code of conduct and behaviour standards
- Safer workplaces policies (bullying, harassment, discrimination)
- Implementation plans (who does what, by when, with what support)
Ongoing Leadership Advisory
- Monthly leadership clinics (60–90 minutes)
- Bring live challenges and get support in real time
- Guidance on responding to incidents, navigating difficult decisions, embedding inclusion
- Available on retainer (3-month, 6-month, 12-month options)
Accountability & Producer Advisory
- Clear owners for DEI commitments & timelines
- Monitoring systems (data review, pattern analysis, check-ins)
- Ensuring consequences apply across the hierarchy
- Monthly advisory for producers on on-set culture challenges
- Real-time support for microaggressions, exclusion, complaints
- Guidance on inclusive casting, crew composition, safer creative processes
Who This Is For
- Organisations that have policies but struggle with implementation
- Leadership teams needing ongoing support (not just one-off training)
- Producers building inclusive production practice
- Organisations where accountability is unclear or inconsistent

The Process
How we work together
Step 1
Initial Conversation (20 min)
We discuss your situation, what's happening, and what would help most. I'll tell you honestly if I think I can help or if you need something else.
Step 2
Proposal
If it's a good fit, I'll send a brief proposal outlining what I'll do, how long it will take, and what it will cost.
Step 3
Delivery
I work with you to diagnose, develop capability, and embed systems. You get practical tools, clear recommendations, and ongoing support.
