Colleges – #studentsuccess

Career Self-Care for the College Soul

Graduating from college isn’t enough. It’s the start of a new, fabulous beginning! College gives students the tools for success, but it’s up to them to use these tools to build their futures. The world of work is changing and the professional landscape for historically excluded groups continues to prove challenging. It’s time for some inspiring “real talk” on how to leverage their college education for health, wealth, and job security.

Career Self-Care for the College Soul teaches students how to apply the skills necessary to secure meaningful work, enjoy work-life harmony, and positively impact the world while navigating the unique challenges of being their authentic selves. As a sociology professor, career consultant, and business owner with executive level human resources experience, Ebony brings a unique perspective in helping historically marginalized students navigating nuances and thrive in the world of work.

My Change Resilience Framework™

I help organizations advance their goals of an inclusive workplace culture with an engaged workforce. I do this through my proprietary, sociologically informed Change Resilience Framework™ for thriving in the workplace and in life.

 

Employees and supervisors need to be empowered to deepen their potential, navigate change, and hold themselves accountable. My signature training can play a meaningful role in supporting broader change management and engagement initiatives.

WORKPLACE CAREER SERVICES

💮 Heart-centered Outplacement Employment Services

I have a defined process to help support beloved staff member(s). This process will help them feel valued, empowered, and confident about the future of their career.

The investment depends on the level of service you’d like to offer, how many employees will be participating, and more. There is no employee minimum. If you have only one employee who needs outplacement employment care, I am happy support them.

My goals are to serve your organization by protecting your reputation and supporting your employees so they feel excited about their next career steps.

What separates my outplacement services from others is that I incorporate a heart-centered, empathetic approach that leverages my interfaith seminary experience. This facilitates deep reflection, meaningful healing, and empowerment that goes above and beyond the standard offerings of transactional outplacement services.

I do not offer therapy, counseling, or psychiatric services.

If you have many impacted employees, I am available to travel for multi-day, in-person career coaching and training sessions, otherwise all services are provided remotely.

I am also available for confidential outplacement services as part of legally binding workplace settlement agreements.

💮 Career Coaching for Employees (as an employee benefit)

Often, organizations where supervisors are at capacity can find it difficult to carve out meaningful professional development conversations with their team. This benefit can serve as a high impact supplement that supports supervisors.  Relieve some of the pressure. Help your employees feel they have the support they need to grow at work.

Let’s discuss your needs and I’ll propose some options for your leadership to consider

Here’s an employee benefit you didn’t know you needed. There’s a myth that if you offer career services to your employees, they will leave the organization. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Providing career consulting as an employee benefit is a win-win for both the employee and your organization. This can be a particularly valuable benefit for smaller organizations who struggle with providing affordable and meaningful benefits to their beloved staff.

Training industry research has found that coaching can improve performance, increase engagement, help employees manage conflict, and build better workplace relationships. My services emphasis helping employees deepen their resourcefulness, identify opportunities at work that align with their goals, and move them forward through proactive self-discovery.

Career consulting for engagement and retention helps support a culture of learning, reflection, and recognition of diversity. Some employees appreciate an opportunity to discuss their goals with an outside of party for additional perspective. Give your employees the benefit of professional career consulting. Packages can include annual, quarterly, or one-time sessions, for example.

Why consider a one-time session? Perhaps offer a career consulting session as a prize for your holiday party or other special occasion. One-time sessions can also be meaningful as a supplement to a sabbatical benefit, maternity leave, or upon a workplace milestone such as 10-year anniversary or pending retirement. Demonstrate that you value your employees with out of the box benefits that make a lasting impact on your reputation and bottom line and their engagement and loyalty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much are your engagements?

Pricing varies based on your needs and if the engagement will be in person, virtual, or hybrid. The starting investments are listed on the web page above as a reference point.

Can you provide us with one of your Signature Trainings in a pre-recorded format?

To maintain the high standards of the desired outcomes, signature training is not available in prerecorded format. They are uniquely designed and hand-crafted to provide a deep, meaningful outcomes that one has to experience (virtually or in person); it cannot be replicated by merely observation. Having an opportunity to earn an additional income by selling pre-recorded signature trainings would be great, but my priority isn’t to find more ways to receive money from you. First and foremost, its to live up to the promise of high quality and impactful training outcomes. However, Keynotes translate very well in a pre-recorded format, so please consider if that could meet your needs instead.

Why are the trainings two hours instead of half and full days like everyone else?

Signature trainings are deliberately crafted from the ground up to be highly impactful with long-lasting value. They are designed intentionally to leverage methods that increase retention, build confidence, and inspire actions while being strategically engaging for all learning styles. If you are looking for half and full-day conventional training (that probably has a bunch of unnecessary fluff), I do not recommend my signature training. My goal is to change behaviors by providing the best value for digestible training with learning goals that spark transformation.

Where/How do you work?

I am based in the Washington DC Metro area. I work with clients all over and in different time-zones. The bulk of my work is performed remotely, and I do travel as needed.

What happens at the end of the engagement?

We will have a post-engagement call. During this call, we’ll review the expectations set at our pre-engagement call and chat about the outcomes. I’ll share information and insight I gained while working with your group that I think will serve you and the goals of your organization.

Can we tape and replay the presentations and workshops?

If this would serve your needs, then absolutely. We can discuss the different options in licensing of the content of our engagement for your future use.

Will you be an expert source for my show/article?

Sure! I’m happy to contribute and comment on everything from sociological practice to human resources, business, and intercultural relations. I consider print and online articles, guest blog posts, and relevant podcasts.

Is my organization ready for you?

If your organization or group does not meet three or more of the below, you might be better served by a speaker who can bring your audience a more basic introduction to inclusive workplace culture and employee development.

• • Has explicit non-discrimination policies that include both “orientation” and “sexual identity/expression” and/or other identities beyond what’s required by law

• • Regularly has speakers and/or trainings on inclusion-related topics and/or much of your workforce’s lived experience includes significant awareness of such issues

• • Offer LGBTQ+, domestic partner, and similarly inclusive benefits

• • Has three or more thriving employee resource groups for members of historically marginalized groups

• • Mission and/or services include serving the less privileged an/or oppressed
