What We Do DEIB Leadership and Team Development Custom Workshops Coaching Future Professionals Speaking Certification

Our Guiding LIght

Beacon of Light is a consulting, training, and coaching services company. Driven by conscious inclusion, we believe that valuing and uplifting differences is empowering. It is the secret ingredient of highly performing, effective teams and fulfillment in the workplace.

Organizations thrive when there is a culture of connection and empathy, where employees feel safe, and where the environment recognizes, appreciates, and utilizes the talents, skills, and perspectives of every employee.  This is what differentiates us from other training and consulting companies.  

Everything we do is designed to help individuals and teams grow and succeed. Our approach is unique; we consider the audience, priorities, and opportunities for impact, with a focus on our core message of inclusion, authenticity, and psychological safety. 

Just as a beacon guides and gives hope to others, at Beacon of Light, our drive is not only to guide you but to inspire and encourage you. Because we believe strongly in the words of Amanda Gorman, youth poet laureate of the United States, “For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.”

Testimonials

Thinks Outside the Box

Rhonda is one of the most innovative, clever, careful, and fun people I have had the pleasure to work with. She was very in touch with the needs of her organization and was able to translate these needs into clear deliverables around which our programs were designed. She was able to think out of the box and gave us the flexibility to build innovative dimensions into the training including simulated competitions, role-playing, and team-building activities.

Passionate About DEIB

I worked with Rhonda Bernard at Imerys where she implemented the DEIB program and policies. I saw firsthand how persuasive and passionate she was about DEIB, and how she insisted on metrics and accountability. She also made sure she went beyond data by talking to people to understand what the data meant, and to bring about real change and progress.

- Valerie Chataud, Business Area Human Resources Vice President, Imerys

Great Listeners

I had the opportunity to work with Beacon of Light while I was leading quite a lot of transformation of the business models, and more importantly, our ways of working within the team. They were great listeners to understand my needs and then propose tailor-made programs in order to take the team on an essential journey. They notably built and animated Change Management workshops, which was crucial for my team and our transformation. They supported the workshop itself but also identified individual follow-ups that could support different team members’ needs. They have the emotional intelligence to both sense the group dynamic as well as more specific individual opportunities.  

They really helped my team understand the journey of change and how to adapt and be agile.

They are also dynamic, which is a real asset on the D-Day to bring the energy and bring the teams together.

- Vice President, Luxury Goods Company
