Culture consulting
that centers the BIPOC Experience
“Today, as the Buddhist concept of ‘right livelihood’ is more widely understood, more people embrace the belief that work that enhances our spiritual well-being strengthens our capacity to love. And when we work with love we create a loving working environment."

We support diverse workforces + communities
Gloetry supports with intentional guidance and a strategic approach in addressing long standing grievances by fostering alignment and improving staff relationships in order to improve productivity, communication processes, and team morale. By achieving these objectives, we can create a more connected, collaborative, and trusting environment where employees feel supported, engaged and motivated to contribute to the mission and vision of the organization.
As a former sales manager, and with many years of experience as a healing circle facilitator in academic spaces, Karmay brings a unique lens as a consultant, providing grounding, practical and realistic tools, and techniques for my clients to achieve their desired outcomes.
The Tools We Use
Culture Consulting helps your organization achieve specific DEI aims within shorter time frames. If you are looking for a specific workshop or training, assessing your organization’s equitable hiring practices, or are trying to initiate affinity groups at your organization, Gloetry can help.
Leadership Training
A diverse workplace alone does not guarantee ingenuity, creativity and acceptance. Rather, organizations must foster inclusion by making space for the identities of their teams to be respected and to have belonging. An inclusive workplace starts and ends with leaders. I will support your leaders in connecting more with themselves and their identities, so they can connect with others to heal where the discord and disconnection is happening.
Facilitation Training
Organizing and leading meetings, mediations, workshops, and retreats is part of the fabric of operating an organization. However, many organizations fail to see these gatherings as opportunities for building connection, amplifying voices, and inspiring team members. When we move beyond the mechanics and the routine of gathering, and leave behind dry and monotonous agendas, leaders can create meaningful experiences with their teams at every step. Gloetry supports you in designing and implementing intentional spaces that create the types of dynamics that motivate and excite your team to do their best work.
Affinity Group Consulting
Affinity group—also called an employee resource group (ERG)—is a group of employees with similar backgrounds, interests, or demographic factors, such as BIPOC groups, women's leadership groups, LGBTQ groups, or caregiver groups. Gloetry can help your organization introduce affinity groups and give you the tools to support them to be effective and sustainable in a way that actually helps meet the needs of your diverse workforce and DEI objectives.
Equitable Hiring Consulting
In order to dismantle hierarchical systems, did you know that you also need to take a look at your hiring practices? Our clients wonder why they attract dispassionate folks who fail to align with the mission or values of their org, and also don’t live into the skills necessary to to be successful at the role. At Gloetry we will help you by reviewing and redesigning your entire hiring process to make it more intentional so you get the results you need to have a sustainable organization and culture.
Compassionate Communication Workshops
Culture hurt happens when people don’t have the tools personally and collectively to listen with compassion, express themselves fully, and to resolve both inner and outer conflicts. Giving your leaders and employees the ability to move through feelings of shame and doubt and instead communicate from a place of compassion will almost immediately translate to healing cultural change.
Team Building with Healing Circles
Our Healing Circles bring employees together in a safe place where they can practice self-confidence, be reminded of their worth, find support, express feelings openly and freely, create community, and foster healing. This two-hour session will help your people feel seen, heard, and valued within your institution.
