Workshops for Women will Support Your Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives
At the current rate of progress, it will take 300 years to achieve full gender equity. We have to move beyond performative measures to transformative action if we want to see real change. The underdevelopment of emotional intelligence is a consistent barrier to advancing and implementing inclusion & equity initiatives. Before you can create an inclusive culture, your team needs psychological safety, skills around compassionate communication, and education on how to self-regulate & navigate emotions. Booking one of Sonya’s workshops for women (and their allies) or a DEI workshop equips your team with the foundation & tools for building an inclusive workplace.

Sonya’s TEDx talk Moving Beyond #Empowerment…
Sonya is a wonderful speaker! She hosted our virtual keynote session for International Women’s Day and spoke about women’s empowerment and emotional intelligence. We learned how to be present in the moment, tools to improve as individuals, and what emotional intelligence truly is. She was very kind and professional, and our employees enjoyed the event.

A Bridge to Equity & Inclusion
—> Emotional intelligence is the gap between performance & meaningful change
Perfect for: International Women’s Day, women-focused ERG groups, DEI training
Description: Most companies know that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI initiatives) have to be at the top of their agenda for change, but without raising your organization’s emotional intelligence, DEI steps can be performative instead of transformative. —> If inclusion & cultural mindfulness is the destination, emotional intelligence is the bridge! This workshop unpacks what emotional intelligence really is, why it is required for effective DEI initiatives, and how the way you teach emotional intelligence matters. Raising E.Q. is the answer to navigating systemic bias and breaking invisible barriers. It gives the audience not just the education around emotional intelligence and its connection to creating a culture of belonging, but an experiential understanding of how they can raise their emotional intelligence to choose inclusion. This workshop can be tailored to reach your whole organization or specialized leadership teams like HR and DEI. Bridging a connection between emotional intelligence & inclusion is a game changer.
Your team will learn:
- What emotional intelligence is & why it is required to close the gender gap
- How building safety has to come first before you can build an inclusive workplace
- Simple tools & strategies that will make a difference in your life, relationships & workplace
