Training that creates safe places and a workable path forward
Learning that inspires growth
Being seen is how we unlock our superpowers
Our Approach
Etienne Consulting practices and teaches fearless inclusion: the freedom to be yourself and the art of creating space for others to do the same.
In our trainings, we openly acknowledge and invite in the lessons and wisdom of the elephant in the room. We help you and your team connect mindfulness and self-awareness to daily actions and turn them into habits of fearless inclusion.
We help our clients drive innovation, improve operational efficiencies and spur growth by teaching the core skills necessary for driving meaningful change: self-awareness and mindfulness; navigating uncomfortable, strained and highly emotional situations; and how to get past those open-mouth-insert-foot moments.
We teach the most daring and necessary thing you can do as a leader: be seen as you are - and hold space for others to do the same.
The combination of intention and consistent action shatters unseen barriers
