PowerSpeak Session
Does this sound familiar to you?
Going to work has gotten tougher because you're dealing with people issues. And by people, I mean bullies.
Maybe you’re dealing with
- Being asked to do more with less even though you’re overworked
- Colleagues who doubt your ability to lead or your knowledge
- A manager who micromanages every aspect of your work
- Endless paperwork to get your work accommodation approved
- Being a new manager who wants to get started on the right foot
- Projects that are doomed to fail but you’re expected to fix
- A surprise PIP that seems impossible to complete
- Being a CEO who struggles with emotional intelligence or conflict
- A team that ignores you and refuses to follow your instructions
You feel shocked, anxious and confused.
You don't know where to turn. Family and friends who love you sympathize but how good is their advice? Do they understand what happens at work?
You've been told that HR is not your friend. And, maybe you've experienced that firsthand. So reaching out to HR is the last thing you want to do.
You told your manager but they found it hard to believe and wondered if you're overly sensitive or just a troublemaker.
What you'd really like is a knowledgeable expert who you can talk with candidly without...
- Getting emotional
- Being judged
- Retaliation
- Wrecking your career
I got you. Take the first step.

About PowerSpeak Sessions
You’re tired to the snarky comment, the exclusion and the microaggressions but you don’t know what to do to..and it really bothers you. You feel anxious, depressed and alone.
There doesn’t seem to be anyone who can help, not your manager or HR. You want to tell you story without worrying about being believed or retaliation.
You don’t know how to help yourself and you want knowledgable advice from someone who has been there and knows how things go.
A PowerSpeak is the safe space you deserve to tell your story, get support and advice so you can figure out your next move and move on. Whether that’s learning how to speak up powerfully, developing an interim strategy or preparing for the next opportunity.
What is a PowerSpeak Session?
What people say
I've personally found Dina and the Ombuds office to be a great resource. Dina is attentive, compassionate, easy to approach, and provides clear and comprehensive advice on next steps. I've no qualms whatsoever recommending colleagues to drop some time in her calendar - to discuss anything that might be top of mind, or walk through issues with a difficult genesis and/or no easy resolution. K.T.
Thanks so much for your guidance and advice. It was really helpful. It helped me structure my thoughts and be very clear. M.

What’s an Ombuds?
An organizational Ombuds is a person who provides a confidential, impartial,independent and informal space for employees like you to:
- Share their experiences
- Gain clarity
- Explore options and resources
- Get guidance on how to approach situations
- Get coaching on what to say
- Begin to heal traumatic experiences
As an independent Ombuds I adhere to the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the International Ombuds Association. Learn more here.
I’m not part of your company so I can offer you a fresh perspective and make you aware of different resource. Ombudsing is not therapy but it is a safe space to express your feelings. Your Ombuddy is a learning experience that can be an uncomfortable, sometimes triggering, but it also allows you to better understand yourself and grow.
Who is PowerSpeak NOT for?
A PowerSpeak Session takes a bit of awareness and courage. To get to authentic, workable solutions, you have to be willing to be honest with yourself (and me), take ownership and be open to new perspectives, concepts and techniques.
This is not therapy, however, emotions will come up. If you're ready to take action and start the healing process, you're ready for a PowerSpeak Session.
How does it work?
It's pretty simple.
After purchase, you’ll get access to my private learning portal that contains the 5 minute pre-work for you to complete. I recommend completing the pre-work quickly. No point beating around the bush.
Once finished, you’ll get a link to schedule your 60 minute PowerSpeak session with me. Access to my calendar expires in 14 days so you want to schedule quickly and plan to attend. There are a limited number of seats per week. (Due to the nature of the work, there are no refunds or rescheduling)
