As a coach, I support my clients in naming the existing challenges and tensions that hinders personal wellness, efficiency and momentum.

Why Have a Justice Approach?

It seems like the acronym DEI can be found almost anywhere these days. Experts around the globe and across many industries are investing in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts like never before. Research shows intentional DEI training helps organizations meet goals, reduce employee turnover, increase innovation, and even boost profits. Yet, while a business's bottom line may be well served by company-wide DEI initiatives, it's important that companies recognize they are also a part of larger communities.  Understanding the connection between your organization and the communities in which it functions is crucial for manifesting justice for all. Without a justice component attached to DEI commitments, it's easy for companies to minimize their impact on communities, especially those communities that have been underserved and underrepresented. Contracting with J Reed Consulting LLC ensures that your company's commitments will not be isolated to your organization, but rather have a sustainable and positive impact on the community.
