What is Gender Consulting?
The term "gender consulting" in the context of what I am offering refers to one-on-one consulting and coaching sessions to help people better understand and respect gender diversity in themselves and others. My mission is to support the gender diverse community and promote better understanding and acceptance of transgender and non-binary people in their personal and professional lives.
Using techniques from personal stylists and image consultants, as well as knowledge from my varied experience in business and academics, I offer feedback and advice on how to present your whole self authentically, and in a way that is best suited to your lifestyle and surroundings. While my mission is to support the trans and non-binary community, I also offer support to cisgender men and women to better understand their relationship to gender and how they express themselves.
I also offer feedback and advice on issues related to non-binary or transgender people generally. For example, discussing how to be respectful of an openly trans person in your family or workplace, or the differences between sexuality and gender identity.
Some consultants who offer "gender consulting" focus on promoting gender equity and diversity for women in the workplace. I am taking a different approach to the term. My consultancy practice offers a more personalized service with a focus on responding to gender-related questions and issues of individuals or organizations. My practice includes consulting on women's issues and sexuality, with a primary focus on transgender and non-binary identities.
