Education + Training

We empower consumer-facing professionals, executive teams and organizations to engage with diverse customers in authentic, intuitive and personalized ways. Our destination, company, and role-specific training provides knowledge and tools that help with:

  • Understanding of LGBTQ+ specific issues and mindsets.
  • Comfortable and confident connections with diverse guests.
  • Delivery of personalized, anticipatory service to diverse guests of all kinds.

Our consumer travel-focused background is a unique advantage in understanding how diversity issues play out in real-world scenarios and building practical, meaningful competency among staff.  Friendly, interactive, and emotionally resonant, our sessions explore how ingrained notions of gender, sexual orientation and relationship status have shaped service paradigms, and how stripping away preconceptions and bias allows more engaged and authentic hospitality for all guests. By helping employees understand diverse guests, they become more inclined to engage rather than retreat from interaction with them.

Our onsite trainings are customized to your specific service paradigms and are particularly applicable for front-line staff. Our curriculum can also be customized and licensed for your own Learning Management System.
