Why DEI Coaching?
Hi, I’m Bree. I’ve spent years building my own DEI career, hiring teams, and training people across different companies. I know it can be tough to figure out how to make real change in this field, especially when there’s no clear path forward.
I work with DEI professionals who want to get better at what they do. Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been at it for a while, I can help you:
Get better results from your DEI work
Handle difficult conversations and resistance
Avoid burnout (because this work is hard!)
Figure out what actually works (and what doesn’t)
Show the impact of what you’re doing
No corporate jargon, no empty promises – just practical support to help you do this important work well.

Thank you so much for your presence, your wisdom, and your support over these last few months.
It has been invaluable, both to support me to think holistically about the DEI space and to boost my confidence with my existing knowledge and skills presenting

What if....
You knew how to position yourself as an authority in the DEI space?
You got inside advice as to how to build a successful DEI practice?
You felt confident collecting and presenting data to your Executive?
You knew what to say when the backlash arrives?
You could bounce your proposed actions off someone skilled in the space?
You had an objective voice to lean on when navigating the complex world of DEI?
Someone who has been there before, was here for you now?
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work is tough, rewarding, magic and sometimes scary – all at once!
I can support you through the bumps and curves and then be there to celebrate the successes. In our coaching sessions the agenda is led by you. If you are just starting out or a seasoned professional, I will coach you through your challenges. When you seek it, I’ll provide advice based on my professional knowledge and experience. You take what makes sense to you and move forward with more confidence.
I've had so many helpful a-ha moments through our conversations & they never hesitate to keep me honest & accountable ... I couldn't recommend Bree more highly

More about Bree
I have been working as a DEI practitioner for over 8 years. In that time I have:
Developed Gender Equality, DEI and LGBTIQA+ inclusion plans across a variety of sectors.
Consulted with employees and leaders with the view of identifying key DEI objectives, challenges and actions.
Trained over 1000 employees and leaders in the health, energy, IT, professional services, construction, hospitality, education, gaming, NFP and government sectors.
Coached and mentored DEI practitioners and enthusiasts, employee resource groups, pride networks, leaders and more.
I am always aware of the high levels of privilege I carry into a space. I bring lived experience of being queer, trans non-binary, a parent and ADHD to this work. I was a product of the ‘leaky pipeline’ – a phenomenon that sees women and gender diverse folks excluded from career progression in academia particularly when they have caring responsibilities.
I love the power of DEI work, I love the day to day work in this field but most importantly I love helping others create the impact they want to see.
