Let's Connect

How do we shape a winning work culture?



Systemic Thinking Process



Relationship is the meaning of life - and work is no exception. We teach your organization how to approach systemic problems with systemic solutions using the power of healthy relationship.



Social Justice Lens Development



Belonging is key to a winning work culture, and it takes a healthy perspective on social justice to make it happen. We deliver trauma-informed inclusion development tools to shape and sharpen your approach to equity.



Inclusion Training and Consulting



You want everyone on the same page when it comes to inclusion, but you're not sure exactly where to start. We'll help you rally the troops using groupthink for good.



Data Collection



Every organization is different. We collect valuable qualitative data using our Collective Conversationtm, as well as quantitative data to inform our tailored plan just for you.



Work-Life Harmony



Nothing works well without rest, enrichment and support. We assess how mental and relational wellness are impacting your goal for a winning work culture.



Implementation Planning



Collaborating with your leaders, we guide you in creating and implementing goals for inclusion that address personnel, policy and procedures, transforming your organization into a place where anyone would love to work.

Testimonials



"I really appreciated the way Janelle spent time getting to know our organization and talking to leadership prior to making recommendations and providing services. This truly demonstrates the relational approach she takes in making sure her work with each organization is tailored to their needs. Janelle has an authentic and direct approach that made the process truly meaningful. Janelle helped kickstart our equity and inclusion work, and gave us some concrete tools for engaging staff and leadership in the process. It was helpful to have an objective space to develop shared language and goals for our organization.

I definitely recommend Bridges Family Life Center's consulting services to any organization who is looking to invest in the important work of inclusion and equity. Janelle provided us with a frame to deepen our conversations around race, inclusion and equity. We now continue to hold anti-racism work as a core part of our mission in serving children and families, and appreciate the support Janelle provided in giving us the confidence and tools needed to make meaningful steps forward in our commitment to this work."

"Janelle is incredibly knowledgeable but that's just the starting point. She is so warm, gracious, and introspective and that helps us follow her lead when we are discussing complicated issues. Many of our staff have proactively remarked on her warmth and skill. Working with Janelle has increased our staff's ability to trust each other with the important stuff. We can now more openly talk about issues surrounding systemic oppression without it terrifying everyone into their respective corners.

I think her way of approaching work colleagues from a family systems perspective has been so helpful. It allows us to focus on our human relationships. In contrast, other trainers have focused so much on theory or important thinkers that the result is that we can't transfer skills to our office interactions. Without hesitation, I would strongly recommend Janelle and her consulting services."
