I am making the ethical move to ensure that folx recognize that in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion we have a responsibility to ensure fair access for all those who hold minoritised identities. Scarcity thinking will get us no where and our programmes and offerings will never be offered from a place of scarcity or fan those flames in our people. Clear communication on pricing and what we do helps our folx discern for themselves whether they want or need our support. We believe our folx are whole, sovereign and have the full capacity to decide for themselves whether they want to work with us. Manipulative efforts to persuade have no place in our orbit.

I work with purpose driven companies that are striving to make a better world. It makes sense then that their marketing fits with that as well. We believe that their is no place in our world for manipulative marketing. Inclusive, accessible and authentic storytelling is the new-wave and we’re here to embrace all of it.

I pledge to work with businesses who are trying their best to sell in a responsible way. That partially means they aren’t selling products that are harmful to people, the environment or animals. While producing sustainable packaging can be challenging en-masse, I pledge to work with people who are trying their best. I pledge to not sell in a way that makes people feel lacking, have low self esteem or poor body image.

I believe in honesty and authenticity and strive to make sure that I never sell a service I cannot do; my cost is always transparent. I believe we have a responsibility to allow our clients as much information as we can to let them make an informed decision.

I am making the ethical move because I want my coaching practice to be one that supports people in a transparent and honest way, and I am tired of the noise of capitalist/exploitative mentality seeping into a world that is so much better when it’s collaborative and open.

I feel it’s important to move away from fear-based marketing and move into a place of genuine service and heart-centered business practices, that value people over clients.

I’m making the ethical move because I’m sick and tired of feeling like I need to speak to a simple-minded person who just has a “problem” and needs a “solution”- I see my audience as complex, multifaceted, capable, and intelligent humans. I want them to know I trust them and that they can trust me to always meet them where they are at, that they will be seen by me, and that I’m committed to building a relationship with them that we both benefit from.

I believe that every ethical action we take in our lives and businesses create a ripple effect for our whole culture. Healing, change, action all go from the individual, to the community, to the world. Taking this pledge and talking about it helps remind the people I engage with that being ethical is at the root of what I believe in for myself and my business.

I believe in the power of business for good. The more business owners who show up in integrity and connect on a human level, the more we’re able to create positive change through our shared economy.
