Bring the Conversation to Your Workplace, Organization, or Community.
Book Lanita Simmons for domestic violence education, workplace training, workshops, speaking engagements, organizational consulting, community conversations, panels, media opportunities, and customized programming through Compass Forward.
No two rooms need exactly the same conversation.
A workplace leadership team may need something very different from a survivor-support organization, community group, employee audience, conference, awareness event, or media conversation.
Compass Forward works with organizations to identify the audience, purpose, learning goals, format, and appropriate level of content before recommending or developing a session.
Domestic violence education belongs in more places than people realize.
Compass Forward works with audiences that want a more practical, survivor-centered understanding of domestic violence, coercive control, workplace impact, survivor support, and life after abuse.
Potential audiences include:
- Employers and workplaces
- Employee resource groups
- HR and People teams
- Managers and supervisors
- Executive and leadership teams
- Nonprofit organizations
- Community groups
- Professional associations
- Conferences and events
- Podcasts and media platforms
- Survivor-support communities
- Family and supporter audiences
Topics can stand alone or be combined into customized programming.
Stop Asking Why She Didn’t Leave
Understanding the real barriers to safety and why leaving an abusive relationship is rarely one simple decision.
Coercive Control
Understanding patterns of control that may exist with or without visible physical violence.
Domestic Violence & the Workplace
How abuse can affect attendance, safety, performance, communication, employees, managers, and workplace systems.
Supporting Survivors
What supportive responses can look like without judgment, pressure, blame, or taking control away from the survivor.
Life After Abuse
The often-overlooked work of rebuilding identity, boundaries, finances, trust, relationships, autonomy, and everyday life.
Family & Community Response
Helping families, friends, coworkers, and communities respond more effectively when someone they care about is experiencing abuse.
If the exact session you need is not listed, that does not mean it cannot be built.
Organizations may need a specific topic, audience, timeframe, format, awareness campaign, leadership conversation, employee event, or multi-session program.
Compass Forward can discuss the need first and determine whether a customized presentation, training, workshop, consultation, or series makes sense.
Start with the conversation. We can build from there.
Submit an Inquiry
Share basic information about your organization, event, audience, requested topic, desired format, and timing.
Clarify the Need
Compass Forward will review the request and determine the best next step, including any additional information needed.
Build the Engagement
Once the scope is clear, the appropriate training, presentation, workshop, consultation, or conversation can be planned.
You do not have to know the exact title of the session before reaching out.
Tell Compass Forward who the audience is, what prompted the request, what you want participants to better understand, and what kind of environment the engagement will take place in.
That information is enough to begin the conversation.
