I love jumping on The Flipchart Facebook group to see where members are hosting their workshops. My guest today, Nancy Mamolejo, hosts her workshops overlooking the Golden Gate bridge, and she also brings amazing ideas and energy into her sessions, including her emotional support kit.

Tune in today, to hear us discuss:

  1. Creating a Sense of Belonging in Workshops
    • Strategies and tools to foster an environment where everyone feels like they are a valued part of the conversation.
  2. Going Beyond 'Tick and Flick'
    • Delving deeper than superficial diversity initiatives and truly embedding inclusive practices in the organization.
  3. Standing in Your Value
    • Recognizing and appreciating your unique contribution to the workspace and the importance of every individual's perspective.
  4. Workshop Structure and Participant Awareness
    • Insights into how Nancy designs her sessions to be most effective and how she ensures she remains attuned to participants' needs and responses.
  5. Embracing Self-Worth and Belonging
    • The transformative realization that "I belong here" and understanding the significance of self-worth in professional settings.


About today's guest:
Nancy Marmolejo is passionate about helping organizations “walk their DEI talk” by moving them from abstract theory to people-to-people interactions. Using tools such as the DiSC Assessment, communication skills training, and leadership development models, she creates a safe space for people to transform on personal and professional levels. 

With over 10,000 hours of experience as a coach and facilitator, her mission is to amplify the voices of underrepresented groups in the workplace, and to transform workplace culture so belonging and inclusion are the norm for all.
