Adriana Leigh

As a “recovering lawyer” turned global consultant, facilitator, author and speaker, I build safer, respectful, caring, and inclusive workplaces and organizations.

I bring 20 years of diverse global experience as a workplace human rights lawyer and facilitator in building respectful and collaborative teams and workplaces, gender-based violence prevention and DEI. I work nationally and internationally with the United Nations and international aid organizations, in addition to the private and public sector.

As a policy advisor, I help organizations develop inclusive trauma-informed policies and processes including policies on harassment, discrimination prevention and workplace wellbeing, with expertise in reporting mechanisms to build a safer culture.

As a facilitator, speaker and learning and development designer, I help improve empathetic communication and workplace wellbeing, build skills to prevent and respond to harassment and discrimination, and resolve conflict across difference. I draw on heart, humour, and deep subject matter and human rights education expertise.
