Workshops & Trainings
All of my trainings and workshops are interactive and engaging, infused with humor, empathy, and storytelling, and will leave participants wanting to continue the conversation around creating a more equitable and just world. Each session is tailored to your company/organization to ensure it’s as applicable as possible.

Consulting
Not sure if what you’re doing is unintentionally exclusive? Need help with some wording? Have policies that need updating? My team is equipped to work with you on creating safer and more equitable workplaces for all of your LGBTQIA+ employees, colleagues, clients, and constituents. Change starts from within both individually and organizationally; let’s find an entry point that supports you in your work and sets you up for success.
Speaking Engagements, Panels, Keynotes
I am passionate about visibility and changing hearts and minds through storytelling. Often I am invited to speak because of my openness, willingness to be vulnerable and my humor when speaking. Whenever I can, I use empathy as a driving force behind my motivational and educational presence. I am available to speak on the topics of self-discovery, acceptance, identity (gender, sexuality, Judaism), resilience, and authenticity to name a few.
Improv & Storytelling - Workshops and Shows
I, along with my company, Thank You For Coming Out, am excited to bring you into the world of improv and storytelling. We have seen time and time again the benefits of improv and the ‘Yes, And’ mindset along with vulnerable storytelling. Whether you’re a corporate office, a nonprofit, or a group of professionals who want to expand their skill sets around connection and vulnerability, these workshops are your ticket in.
Dubbs (and their team) is the most engaging, open, nimble and enlightening learning partner I have worked with in my career. Dubbs brought us each on a journey of awareness and understanding: I was constructively challenged in my views, felt comfortable to ask questions, and left the session energized and able to activate what I had learned in my life. I was excited to see both immediate and ongoing impact in my organization as well. Our team members communicate more respectfully and openly, they enhance client work with what they have learned, and they are eager to learn more!

Dubbs brings so many gifts to their consulting and teaching and coaching—among them, impeccable listening skills, an open heart and mind, a genuine curiosity that leads them to ask incisive questions that inspire sharper clarity and purpose for the client, and warmth and humor that ease tension and push creativity. Dubbs also has a real knack for storytelling and an eye towards equity, inclusion, and visibility that informs all they do. They will help you grow as a human and as a leader, and they will bring tremendous value to your team and organization. And you’ll love working together. They have my highest endorsement.
