Consulting – Sonali Dsilva

Engage in a Diversity & Inclusion Consulting Project

Sonali designs and delivers consulting projects over 6 to 12 months using her unique five-phase framework. She has steered key projects that have helped organisations understand what inclusion means at work and make progress on their D&I Plans and programs.

This involves facilitating confidential employee consultations, one-on-ones with leaders, cultural audit of current practices, detailed reporting and recommendations and co-creating plans and strategy related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion customised to your needs.

This helps organisations earn credibility from within, get expert help in shaping strategic direction and successfully gain traction on important people matters.

Sonali leads these consulting assignments and has deep experience in engaging with executive leaders, HR teams, D&I leads and Board Directors on wide-ranging projects. Her approach is consultative, empathetic, transparent and one that supports inclusion for all.
