Cultivate IDEAL Workplaces

Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, Accessible and Learning (IDEAL) workplaces provide measurable business advantages.

I believe that organizations of every size can choose to cultivate IDEAL workplaces, where everyone is valued for their gifts, and teams are made up of people that support and encourage each other, working toward shared goals.

In 2026, I'll be offering Cultivating Safe Spaces workshops online and in person.

Influence change in your workplace

Do you enjoy your current job, and feel like it would be a great place to spend the rest of your career, if only a few things were different?

Do you aspire to cultivate a more IDEAL culture, where everyone feels a sense of connection and belonging, is recognized for their gifts, paid at least a living wage, and has the opportunity to pursue their dream careers?

You can influence change in your workplace, to help it become an IDEAL place where you’d be happy to invite your friends, family and colleagues to work and thrive along with you.

Give your business an IDEAL advantage

Workplaces that embrace and celebrate differences create a positive work environment and result in more profitable outcomes.

People stay in organizations where they feel like they belong, are connected, and safe.

If you’re interested in cultivating more IDEAL workplaces, then I may be the Thought Partner you’ve been looking for to help you achieve your goals.

Let's meet for a 30 minute one-to-one virtual chat to figure out if we're a good fit so I can help you achieve your workplace change goals.

I have had the immense pleasure of working with Chantal for several years. Chantal delivers Indigenous Inclusion training sessions to a number of clients on Indigenous Link’s behalf. As a Métis woman, Chantal brings an Indigenous perspective to the training sessions which enriches the dialogue and experience. She is committed to helping build positive, more inclusive, and equitable workplaces. Tiawenhk Chantal!

A gifted speaker and training facilitator, Chantal has a wealth of knowledge and is eager to share that with people and businesses in our community. She is easy to talk to and the amount of care she puts into her work really sets the bar for those in her industry. The way that she nurtures connections she has made within the community has been wonderful. I highly recommend Chantal for any personal speaking event and/or to help you to truly achieve your overall goals within your business.

Thanks for an excellent training session. I received lots of positive feedback from the team, including thoughts on items they can immediately put into action. I am also happy to report that others have been working behind the scene on a new diversity + inclusivity statement for our job postings.
