Our clients transform their workplaces by leading DEI programs that upskill their people, engage the whole organization, and equip leaders to lead with empathy, joy, and confidence.

OUR VISION

At MVD Consulting Inc. our vision is to help our clients change the world for the better by serving others in ways that are meaningful.

OUR VALUES

Our work is guided by a set of core values that serve as our compass, shaping our every endeavor and decision. These values propel us forward, ensuring that we remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence and integrity.

    Justice

    All Black lives matter. As such, we know that resisting colonization and restoring broken relationships is the work we each must do, every day.

    Trust

    We can only partner and work with others when we fully trust each other. Once we have taken the time to build trust, then the sky is the limit!

    Authenticity

    We bring our whole selves to our work and create space for others to do the same.

    Humanness

    While we work ridiculously hard (!) and enjoy success in the many ways we define this, we also make time for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.

  • Words "Community" and related concepts like "Together," "Help," "Money," "Giving," "Teamwork," "Sharing," "Humanity," "Partner" on a blackboard with colorful paper.

    Service to community

    Giving of our many resources, including our time, finances, and skills, is an important part of who we are. We thus volunteer our time and donate to causes and organizations whose missions and visions are aligned with ours.

My name is Michelle, and I am so happy you visited our website!

Did you know that in a recent survey by Affirmity, 42% of global HR teams from companies of all sizes and industries reported that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) were not prioritized by senior leadership? 🤔

Why is that?

  • 📉 Limited budget

  • 🤷‍♂️ Lack of understanding of the benefits of investing in DEI

  • 🧩 Insufficient in-house skills and expertise

  • 🛑 Feeling stuck and uncertain about how to proceed

My question for you is, how can you create an equitable, just, and thriving workplace? 🌟

The same study found that organizations that excel in their DEI work share these common traits:

🌟 They rate their DEI initiatives highly, often 8, 9, or 10 out of 10!

📊 They regularly compile and analyze a variety of DEI metrics.

🎓 They host frequent professional learning sessions for staff.

🏅 They lead targeted initiatives for managers and senior leaders.

🚀 They improve their organizational performance and are more closely aligned with their mission, vision, and values.

I’ve personally recovered from workplace burnout and I understand the devastating effects of bullying, harassment, and discrimination. Toxic workplaces can make us ill. Thankfully, I had an exit plan and transitioned to working with clients to help them create healthy, happy, and thriving organizations. My mission is to build workplaces where employees feel safe and look forward to coming to work, volunteers eagerly sign up to serve, donors are enthusiastic to support, and leaders are inspired to drive positive change. 🌈

This is not wishful thinking—it's a reality. How would you classify your workplace’s DEI efforts? Take our Workplace DEI Quiz to understand where your organization is on your journey. 

No matter where your are currently on your DEI journey, I believe you want to be part of an equitable, just, safe, healthy, and thriving workplace. Book a free one-hour consultation with me to discuss your organization’s goals and how I can help you deepen your DEI efforts. 

I can’t wait to meet you!
