Workshop Facilitation
Chuck facilitates conversations that explore gender diversity, with a focus on language, norms, and creating a culture of inclusivity.
Workshops consist of instruction on gender terminology and norms, practice with pronouns, and the creation of space for questions and discussion. Under Chuck’s guidance, participants will generate specific, actionable ways to help their clients, patients, and/or staff of all genders feel supported and included. Each workshop is tailored to the specific needs and concerns of the organization or community, so reach out below with any questions you may have about how these workshops can address the needs of your business.

inclusive communications
Gender inclusivity begins with language and it’s important to make a good first impression. For many of your clients, their first interaction with your company will be through written communication. Chuck collaborates with your organization to generate gender inclusive signage, web copy, and deliverables to ensure your business respectfully recognizes all customers and staff.
“Chuck created an engaging customized workshop for my team to learn and be curious about a topic that some folks are apprehensive to approach.”
It’s nice to meet you.
