Ferdman Consulting
Supporting leaders & organizations in bringing inclusion to life
We live in a dynamic, diverse, and often paradoxical world.
Ferdman Consulting believes in the power of inclusion to radically improve the way we navigate and experience that world.
Our Approach
Building on decades of experience and scholarship, Ferdman Consulting helps organizations and leaders foster inclusion and benefit from diversity, bring their whole selves to work, develop sustainable and authentic practices for working better together, and increase equity at the individual, group, and systemic levels.
Ultimately, we aim to create a more just and inclusive world where each of us feels valued, heard, fully ourselves, and able to contribute at our best.
How We Work
We work in partnership with you and your organization to customize our services to your specific needs.
We embrace complexity, paradox, and conflict as core aspects of diversity and inclusion, and build your internal capacity to do the same.
We are robust and creative in our interventions, attending to both individual and collective learning and behavior.
What We Do
EDUCATE
We equip leaders, teams, and practitioners with specialized tools and knowledge (through resources such as workshops, publications, assessments, online learning platforms) to foster inclusion and to navigate tension, paradox, and conflict effectively.
EMPOWER
Combining personalized coaching and a lens of cultural diversity and inclusion, we support leaders and their teams to bring their whole selves to work and to work cohesively, equitably, and in ways that value difference as a resource.
PARTNER
Through the design and implementation of interventions (such as assessment, strategic planning, learning sessions, team-building), we support organizations of every sector to become more inclusive, and more productive as a result.
