Cultivating connected cultures where people and businesses thrive.
Make everyone feel understood, valued and seen.
In a world where we are expected to move fast, cultivating professional connections often takes the backseat. It's time to prioritize relationships in the workplace. Meaningful relationships impact employee engagement and productivity – both directly affecting a company’s profitability and overall success.
I'm here to support organizations and leaders in building strong, psychologically safe teams. I specialize in developing strategies that lead to equitable workplaces for everyone. At the core of equity is empathetic connections.
Innovative, collaborative, and strategic diversity and inclusion (D&I) thought leader.
I've been on teams that undervalued relationships and I've been on teams led by empathetic leaders that prioritized relationships. Everyone deserves the latter. My goal is to help the leader who's struggling to connect.
my life prepared me for this work.
Hi, I'm Shalynne.
Connecting doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be genuine.
While my career has provided me with incredible experiences in D&I integration, program creation, project management, and training and development, I know how it feels to be disengaged and unfulfilled. When connections are strong, people are loyal, productive, and the best versions of themselves. We must be a champion for all employees to be heard, valued, and in stable environments made for them to thrive.

BRAD WISE, PRESIDENT, SAGENET
We engaged Shalynne as a D&I consultant based on a recommendation. She helped us develop a D&I survey, training, and ultimately a 3-5 year D&I plan. Shalynne was an amazing partner during this process. She took the time to really understand us and how to best approach the start of our journey. Every step of the way, Shalynne provided a kind, knowledgeable, passionate, encouraging, and empathetic approach which motivated me and the others who worked with her. Today, I consider her not simply a consultant, but a true partner and confidant in our D&I journey. I could not be happier.

Shae navigates through difficult discussions with grace and compassion, yet what I admire most is her courage to say things that need to be said, but says it in a way that people really hear what she is saying. Her positive attitude and big smile is just the icing on the cake to her great work ethic!
Kind words from partners.
