What it’s like to work with us

  • “In the past years we at Philips have worked in partnership with Helen and Creative Equals to build inclusive practices and strategy. We really enjoyed working with them due to their extensive knowledge on the subject and the way they were quickly able to understand the challenges in our organization and support us very effectively. They made sure they created a safe space for people to speak up and share their voice, which lead to a collaborative space of learning and development for our teams, and created awareness of how the DEI knowledge could be implemented for various activities in our organization."

    Nathalie Lam, ESG Brand Marketing Lead, Philips

  • "Helen co-led two confidence-building sessions for Accumulate participants as part of our Creative Futures 2024 event. Creative Futures is an employability course we run for our participants, all of whom have lived experience of homelessness. We couldn’t have asked for more impactful, collaborative, thoughtful and professionally-led sessions. They were an important part of Creative Futures as a lack of confidence is one of the barriers our participants face. Their sessions allowed our participants to feel safe and enabled them to contribute in a group setting."
