Our Approach

  • Growth Over Perfection

    No one’s perfect. We’re not in the business of cancelling anyone and avoid the use of shaming in place of genuine dialogue, education, and sustainable solutions. Let’s grow together.

  • Push The Boundaries

    Discomfort can be productive for the learning and development process. We’re proud of the quality we deliver and our ability to get organizations outside their comfort zone and into their learning journey.

  • Building Bridges

    Building bridges asks us to go further and engage in messy, emotion-filled, complex conversations. Challenge yourself to engage with new people as much as possible to encourage collective learning.

    We provide a certificate of completion that you can include on LinkedIn or resumes, for example. Folks love to show off their new learnings.

  • Do you offer a blend of self-directed learning and live facilitated sessions to support teams to learn separately and together?

    Yes. Feminuity’s Blended Learning Model for Level-UP combines live sessions between modules where your team can come together and practice having difficult conversations.
