Now taking Expressions of Interest for 2026

The Culturally Safe Leadership Program is designed for leaders who are committed to interrogating the systems and structures that produce and replicate inequity inside their organisations in order to create safe and nurturing spaces for diverse workforces to thrive.

Transform your Practice

We partner with organisations and teams to embed cultural safety, equity, and systemic transformation into everyday practice. Our services are designed to challenge inequitable structures, amplify diverse voices, and build resilient, inclusive workplaces.

  • We offer programs including the Culturally Safe Leadership Program and Conscious Leadership in Action. These initiatives move beyond traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) approaches to address systemic and structural inequity.

    • Cultural Safety: A growing DEI practice that acknowledges power imbalances, inequities, and biases within dominant systems. It creates spaces where marginalised people feel valued, heard, and supported, while recognising the historical and social contexts shaping workplace culture.

    • Transformation: Through these programs, organisations identify structural discrimination embedded in operational systems and begin the process of genuine organisational change.

  • Our facilitation practice is grounded in participant agency—empowering people to make meaning, listen deeply, and challenge worldviews.

    • We elevate lesser-heard voices and apply decolonial methodologies to redistribute power within organisations and teams.

    • This process makes visible those most impacted by intersectional marginalisation, ensuring their experiences shape collective learning and transformation.

  • We design and execute strategic planning using self-determined, community-engaged methodologies.

    • Our approach prioritises culturally safe conversations and reciprocity.

    • We co-create strategies that may draw on non-Western systems of planning and organising, imagining new futures beyond dominant paradigms.

  • We examine how structures align with strategic goals and values. Reviews may include:

    • Organisational design, finances, policies, and procedures.

    • Ensuring congruence with stated values and contemporary equity frameworks.

    • Identifying areas for improvement and fostering a culture ofcontinuous development, safety, and productivity.

  • Our team facilitation empowers collaboration and engagement across diverse lived experiences.

    • We centre access, equity, and inclusion in dynamic workshops.

    • Teams learn to hold culturally safe conversations, navigate difficult discussions with care, and build robust, generous cultures.

    • Activities enhance communication, problem-solving, and cohesion within a cultural safety framework.

  • We specialise in workplace mediation and repair after conflict, including issues arising from racism and discrimination.

    • Skilled in navigating complex dynamics of power, we hold safe spaces for diverse participants.

    • Our tailored approaches ensure nuanced, contemporary solutions.

    • We embed comprehensive repair frameworks that move beyond symbolic gestures toward profound cultural transformation—allowing teams to rebuild trust, heal, and thrive.

Cultural Safety Definition

Cultural safety within organisational contexts is Veronica’s principal field of practice. She teaches and trains cultural safety through an anti-racist, decolonial methodology that recognises how power and privilege shape interactions and workplace culture. At its core, cultural safety is about creating environments where difficult conversations can occur with care, generosity, and respect—particularly for those with lived experiences of marginalisation. 

This practice is non-violent, attentive to the psychological wellbeing of participants, and distinguishes between discomfort as a necessary learning tool and practices that cause harm or perpetuate trauma. Critically, cultural safety interrogates the ways systems and structures harbour inequity and cultivates the discernment to identify and dismantle unconscious bias as a mechanism of ongoing harm. It is both a practice of care and a framework for systemic transformation, ensuring workplaces move beyond inclusion toward equity, justice, and genuine safety.

“As a facilitator, I am not seeking to dominate or over engineer conversations, but instead ensure that all participants have opportunities to share thoughts and reflections resulting from an embodied experience of intercultural exchange.

This enables everyone to be fully present in the conversations and feel empowered to shape their learning experience.”
