Diversity is the
Resource of
tomorrow
Diversity Coaching
Diversity has long since taken its place in our midst – in our private lives as well as in our companies and organizations. Immigration and diverse gender identities and orientations are creating a new freedom that brings opportunities for our companies and our society. But also new communication hurdles.
Think outside your bubble
Even though often there is no malicious intention behind it, situations arise in which we discriminate against women or people with BIPoC, PoC & LGBTQIA* background. This discrimination is a result of unconsciously applied communication. The only way to overcome these hurdles is an active change of perspective, when we step out of our safe bubble to question our own privileges.
cross cultural bridges
Since 2019, I see myself as a bridge between discriminated groups and people who want to try to expose the root causes of everyday racism and discrimination through white privilege and stereotypes. My workshops and coaching sessions are tailored to companies as well as individuals who aim to eliminate conscious and unconscious discrimination from their own work environments and behavior patterns.
Awareness & Empowerment
My work is directed in both directions: Education and awareness raising on the one hand, meets empowerment and identity building on the other. Because only when women and BIPoC, PoC and LGBTQIA* members begin to recognize their otherness as a unique selling point and strength, is society able to realize the full potential of diversity.
Workshops for companies & organizations
Diversity, Empowerment & Anti-Racism
Learn to leverage the strengths of diversity by creating a corporate culture in which your employees* can realize their greatest potential. Together, we will address the misunderstandings that arise in the workplace, and ultimately uncover the infinite opportunities that diversity can create and make any modern company more successful.
Keynotes
My keynotes on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion provide a quick introduction to complex topics. With my empathetic and relentless style, I reach a wide range of people at different starting points – whether they have already grappled with the issues or are just beginning their journey.
Personal Coaching
Diversity & Expat
In customized coaching for women and BIPoC, PoC & LGBTQIA* people, we embark on an identity journey together with a specific goal: empowerment through identity exploration. But our identity can also be put to the test as soon as we find ourselves in a foreign environment. For this reason, I additionally support expats in finding their identity in a culturally foreign environment after moving abroad.

What my customers say
I had the absolute pleasure, to attend a Workshop on DEI hosted by Ellen. She guided our group through the different topics, ranging from Microaggressions over Discrimination & Bias and from that deriving emotions with so much passion and expertise. Our group had rather various levels of knowledge on DEI and Discrimination and I think with the way Ellen created the workshop, the questions she asked and the impactful insights she provided, everyone was enabled to take something to think out of that. Ellen challenged the group to get out of our comfort zone and to reflect on our own biases – I think her input and what we were to extract, was a huge puzzle piece for building a DEI foundation. Many thanks for your powerful and amazing work, Ellen!
The unbiased and open manner, even when dealing with difficult issues (confronting one’s own inner enemy). Ellen was not only seen as a coach, but also as part of the group after a very short time. She created an important basis of trust, which intensified the workshop and also created a new approach to her own colleagues.
As part of Diversity Week, I had the chance to attend Ellen’s short workshop and cannot recommend it enough. She brought everyone in the workshop closer to the topic of diversity in a very empathetic way, provided an overview and facilitated exchange and reflection through exercises and breakout sessions. The workshop has sparked important first ideas and is a great introduction to the topic. I highly recommend everyone to book an introductory or deep dive workshop with Ellen to question and enrich their own perspective.
Original: Ellen facilitated an online training on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Johnson & Johnson. She was able to create a safe environment, promote profound discussions with an open mind and open heart, and provide data and facts to support her presentation and to empower those in the call with knowledge. I do recommend Ellen for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training, it was amazing.
In the 4-hour anti-racism workshop, Ellen (and her team) drew all participants in and brought us closer together in working towards more diversity, respect and understanding. The main topic was prepared terrifically and tailored to the needs of our company and specifically to those of our team. By the end, we were able to get down to the details of next steps for the company and by when we would like to tackle them. The workshop, especially by providing additional resources, has helped us to know how and where we can deepen our knowledge in the future.
What a successful conclusion to our diversity week. Ellen Wagner, with her inspiring way of communicating, made even me reflect on deep-seated subconscious prejudices. As a member of the Hays Diversity Council in Germany, I would like to thank you very much for your presentation and can only recommend you to any other council.
