Leadership Inclusion Clinic
Our Services
Most organisations don’t need more statements. They need:
- clarity on what’s really happening
- practical skills people can use in real situations
- systems and leadership habits that make inclusion consistent
Our work is organised into three strands. You can start with any one of them.
Embed
Advisory, Policy & Leadership Support
Make inclusive practice part of how you run the organisation
Change does not stick by itself. This strand focuses on the systems, decisions and leadership habits that keep people safe and treated fairly over time.
Leadership Inclusion Clinic
Ongoing support for leaders dealing with live, complex issues.
How it works
- Monthly or bi-monthly 90-minute virtual clinics
- Small group of leaders or managers (for example 6–12 people)
- Real cases brought to the session (anonymised as needed)
- Space to think through options, risks and communications
What you get
- More confident handling of sensitive situations
- Consistency across different leaders and departments
- A regular touchpoint to keep inclusion and psychological safety on the agenda
Strategy, Policy & Framework Advisory
Support to align your written commitments with how your organisation actually works.
This can include:
- Reviewing and refining DEI strategies
- Advising on anti-racism or gender equality action plans
- Strengthening bullying, harassment and dignity-at-work policies
- Clarifying reporting routes, thresholds and responsibilities
What you get
- Policies and frameworks that are clear, realistic and implementable
- Language that staff and managers can understand and use
- Better alignment between what you say externally and what people experience internally
Implementation Support (“Critical Friend” Role)
Medium- to long-term support to keep momentum and honest reflection alive.
What this can look like
- Quarterly check-ins to review progress and unblock barriers
- Input on communications, consultation and engagement plans
- Joining steering groups or working groups as an external voice
- Reviewing key documents and tools for inclusion and clarity
What you get
- An external perspective that can say what insiders sometimes cannot
- Guardrails to stop actions sliding back into “business as usual”
- A thinking partner to hold both ambition and realism
Working across Ireland, Nigeria and international contexts
We routinely work with organisations in:
- Ireland: universities, arts bodies, public sector, NGOs and professional services
- Nigeria: education, financial services, professional services, NGOs and programmes
- International: EU and other global partner projects
That gives us a nuanced understanding of:
- Different legal and regulatory frameworks
- How hierarchy, class, ethnicity and gender show up in different settings
- The expectations of funders, regulators and international partners
Advice is always tailored to where you sit and who you are accountable to.
Not sure where to start?
You don’t have to arrive with a fully defined brief.
If you are:
- Sitting on concerns about culture or behaviour
- Holding a complex complaint or pattern you cannot ignore
- Planning a strategy, accreditation or major change
- Looking for a partner to help you move beyond statements
…we can start with a short conversation about where you are now and where the pressure points are.
