WHAT WE DO
Diversity Awareness
We facilitate group or individual discussions that assist in growth from “political correctness” to “personal awareness” of both the differences and similarities of all contributing in the work environment. Facilitating difficult conversation to allow people to lean into their discomfort zones.
Culture Facilitation
We listen to understand the perspectives of the constituency, assist to define root of those perspectives, and, provide non-attributional feedback to organizational leadership.
Leadership Development
As leaders we’re expected to connect, support, and engage our staff. We work with groups or individual leaders to assess their current efforts to connect “with the frontline”, understand their barriers, and solution and share best practices to enhance connection.

TESTIMONIALS
I have had the opportunity to work with Nate Copeland for nearly two decades in various government contracting and leadership roles. During that time, Nate has been a pioneer in driving tradecraft and creating a culture of excellence and inclusion. Recently, we asked Nate to support our supervisory training initiatives by providing a seminar related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for our management cadre. The session was so great and well received by our management cadre that we asked Nate to present the following month on Employee Engagement Best Practices. Nate is a natural when it comes to training and sharing lessons learned from his career in a practical and digestible manner – often tackling difficult topics while promoting candid conversation and an opportunity for thinking of things differently. Our team benefited greatly from Nate’s content, and we have fused his teachings into our corporate DNA.
I have personally and professionally known Nate Copeland for over 15 years. In our time working together, he demonstrated the ability to be a hands-on leader, able to interact and communicate with people at all levels. My company recently wanted to provide an “Inclusive Workplace” seminar for our leadership team. This team includes Team Leads who work onsite with our staff and customers up to our Executive Staff including CEO. Nate has a unique ability to communicate with all levels and people from all backgrounds. His presentation was interactive and engaged the team to openly discuss various topics that would often not be broached. He made everyone comfortable and feel they were in an environment of inclusivity. I received multiple accolades from the staff after the seminar, with many mentioning how they expected it to be more confrontational than it was. Instead, they felt reinvigorated from the conversations and a better understanding of how to approach various situations in their work environment. Nate impressed myself and other members of the executive staff so much that we asked him to return and provide a seminar on Leadership and Employee Engagement. Again, he was able to lead this seminar in a way that engaged all levels of leadership and ensured an interactive experience. I highly recommend Nate to lead any coaching, leadership or diversity related workshops. We will definitely look to have him return again in the future.
Nate Copeland has demonstrated creative intelligence and wisdom as he has risen to some of the highest levels within America’s corporate ladder, Nate draws from his own personal experiences when speaking of diversity and the power it can bring to an organization. Diversity is more complex than simply racial or ethnic backgrounds, but a multitude of individual differences that provide companies unique perspectives when putting any issue under a lens. Solutioning or addressing a challenge through this unique perspective is the power of diversity. Mr. Copeland has provided discussions, seminars, and classes that make us think how we can harness this perspective as we make decisions, hire employees, and put together corporate teams.
Nate Copeland is a phenomenal speaker as well as a true leader and talented strategist in the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging space. His presentation style was exceptional, as he helped us to better understand the importance of diversity in the workplace as well as its value to the two companies I worked at where he spoke. Nate has an extraordinary ability to effectively present and engage audiences from diverse backgrounds and levels of experience, where he created a very positive buzz throughout our organization and received the highest compliments from our staff members. The feedback I received most was how welcoming and inclusive Nate is. He can talk about complex and sensitive topics in a way that makes everyone feel safe and able to contribute, whether they are they are already experienced or completely new to the ideas of diversity and inclusion. Nate gets my highest recommendation as a person, speaker, leader, facilitator, and change agent for any company seeking to better understand diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging, and more importantly, for companies wishing to make actual positive change in this area. Thank you, Nate, for making it a memorable and encouraging experience!
I have personally and professionally known Nate Copeland for over 5 years. In our time working together, he demonstrated the ability to be a hands-on leader, able to interact and communicate with people at all levels. Nate was more than the President (at InTec) or our VP (at ANSER), he was family. To know Nate meant that he cared about your quality of life, always making sure his team and people were happy. I attended both of Nate’s Diversity “Lunch and Learns”. His presentation of the topic was excellent and very informative. Everyone enjoyed the information he gave during this seminar. Nate has an extraordinary ability to effectively present and engage audiences from diverse backgrounds and levels of experience. Nate leads his teams with focus, passion, integrity, and dedication; his team feeds off this and responds by rallying behind him. Thank You Nate for being one of the best people I could have ever meet. I know our paths will cross again. Your smile and personality kept a very diverse team together for a long time. Thank You for making work such a pleasant place.
