For over twenty years, Sacha has been providing top notch consulting and coaching services to Executives from mid level managers all the way up to the C suite, expertly assisting them to develop the skills and knowledge needed to create supportive and inclusive workplace cultures.

Sacha says creating workplaces where everyone, regardless of identity, feels and more importantly have a sense of belonging so they feel like they are part of a team which in turn creates an optimal workplace culture.

Part of her work is also centered on encouraging her clients to identify their own biases and learn to overcome them. When leaders are able to recognize these biases, prejudices and misconceptions, it fosters personal growth.

To build a diverse workplace, Sacha emphasizes, it is crucial to recruit and hire talent from a variety of backgrounds while still making certain to hire only the most qualified people including those with the right education, credentials, and skill sets. As such, not losing sight of the fact that all organizations ensure they always hire the most qualified people.

Sacha coaches Executives to learn the strategies and tools necessary to create an inclusive workplace. The fact is, creating a company culture where everyone has a voice is the ethical thing for a leader to do.

With her approachable, inspiring, creative, and insightful approach, Sacha continues to create a ripple effect of inclusion that make her one of the most highly sought after by organizations of all sizes and caliber.
