THIS MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL, BUT:
Diversity And Inclusion Mean Nothing Without Equity.
Yes, it’s true that more Americans consider a company’s diversity and inclusion when weighing job offers.
But those are just the building blocks of a successful organization with engaged employees.
Until everyone:
Feels encouraged to bring their authentic self and expertise to the table
Is recognized for their contributions
Is assured that their employers are practicing what they preach
Diversity and inclusion will just be a superficial metric.
Equity isn’t an add-on, it’s the core of organizational change and leadership. When we put equity first, organizations and diverse leaders can unlock the benefits of diversity and inclusion — so that every person thrives.
Although Elevating Access is a coaching and consulting firm, equity is at the core of everything we do.
I CAN HELP YOU TURN YOUR VISION INTO REALITY
Hi, I’m Dr. Hayley Haywood
AWARD-WINNING EQUITY SOLUTIONIST & IDENTITY-CONSCIOUS CAREER COACH
In my 15+ year career, I’ve led across each stage of the career journey: college programs, onboarding, leadership development, employee resource groups, organizational learning, executive coaching and more.
1000s of coaching meetings, 100s of people trained, and over a decade spent helping professionals of color build the life of their dreams while helping employers create work experiences that support them.
So when it comes to building your capacity to create the change you seek, I’m the person to help you get there.
“Inequity is by design, but so is equity. Together, we can turn barriers into pathways.”
Dr. Hayley Haywood
I firmly believe that we all deserve to do work we love in a place we’re cared about. Equitable workspaces help diverse professionals tap into their talent & maintain their wellbeing. Once that happens, employers can recruit and retain more changemakers.

“Before working with Dr. Hayley, I was struggling to understand my own identity & the role it played in my personal career journey
I felt invisible in the workplace, was stuck in a role that didn’t reflect my abilities, & I didn’t have the tools necessary to advocate for myself or navigate difficult situations. After working with Dr. Hayley over the course of a year, I’m a different person. I now view my identity as a strength & finally feel "seen." I’m empowered to speak up for myself & others, & most important of all, I’m now in a role that better reflects the work I’m capable of doing. For the first time in a long time I have hope, not only for myself, but for others out there who have yet to experience the powerful impact of Dr. Hayley’s work.”

"What was most helpful about working with Dr. Hayley was:
Vocalizing the ways we have each felt undermined in our job & hearing that others have felt similar & that we are on path to changing the culture.
Learning more about each of us on staff. I really didn’t know a lot of what people shared in the beginning.
Having a facilitator was incredibly helpful as we’ve tried to have the conversations before & they always went awfully."
Anonymous Retreat Participant
I Work With:
Equity-centered leaders who want to escape burnout and do meaningful work without sacrificing financial, personal, and professional abundance. I’m open to all values-aligned clients but women of color are the center of my coaching practice.
Educational institutions focused on enhancing equitable student outcomes, while improving rankings, attracting donors, and demonstrating success to all their community partners.
Mission-driven employers who want to revitalize their teams and elevate their impact, without sacrificing equity, integrity or community.
— in short, I work with changemakers who want to make a difference in the world, realize transformation takes time and effort, and care about results beyond the bottom line.
