Consulting Services

Wes Chernin ConsultingQueer and trans consulting work is one of Wes’ favorite ways to spend time.

Wes works with agencies of all kinds – public, private, and nonprofit – in order to support systems and cultures that value people of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Some of the industries Wes loves working with include media, clothing, education, customer experience, fertility, healthcare, mental health, fashion, speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, wedding, work culture, fitness, and more! He also consults with individuals and families looking for support on all things LGBTQ.

Through this intentional partnership, you and Wes get to determine the best ways to communicate a sense of belonging and value to your audience.

Please note: Consulting is different from training and workshops. Learn more about training and workshop opportunities here.

quotes

I have an ongoing relationship with Wes as a consultant and editor for my business. His firsthand knowledge and experience make him a perfect consultant for LGBTQ+ inclusion and gender affirming practices. Wes always approaches questions and concerns with a thoughtful and understanding response and has shared a wealth of knowledge with our team. His insights help guide us in our decision making for the products we put into the world. Wes is such a valuable team member and together we are making a difference in how we represent people through art in education.

Pricing

À la carte consulting sessions start at $300/hour for organizations.

It is assumed that all consulting sessions take place in real-time, virtually on a video platform like Google Meet or Zoom. However, in-person sessions may be available upon request if the location and budget match everyone’s needs. À la carte consulting sessions are collaborative and conversation based, and typically consist of 2-4 team members. Please inquire about pricing for larger groups.

Consulting Partnerships start at $150/hour.

Consulting partnerships are an opportunity for organizations to invest in sustainable, mutually beneficial, work with a queer and trans DEI strategist to further LGBTQ+ diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging within the organization. With a 6-12 month initial agreement, you’ll have regular access to Wes as he intimately works with and for you and your team.

It is expected that consulting partnerships involve a combination of synchronous and asynchronous work. Consulting partnerships are remote, unless otherwise agreed upon.

HIRE.

Let’s collaborate on the best ways to communicate a sense of belonging to the LGBTQ+ people in your life.
