Moving towards Reconciliation
through Relationship
Helping Human-centred organizations and teams navigate the complexities and uncertainties of Systemic Change
Hi I'm Marilyn!
Marilyn Maychak Consulting is an Indigenous-led educational consulting and coaching company culturally grounded in Inuit ways of knowing and being.
My Vision
Focused on building capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect.
I work to centre the voices and lived experiences of Inuit, as well as people from equity seeking and equity deserving groups.
My Work
A Strategic Partner
I help identify blindspots in decolonization, anti-racism, and reconciliation efforts.
A Cultural Navigator
I offer guidance and assurance that you are working with, supporting and engaging with Inuit in culturally responsive and respectful ways.
I provide expertise and lived experience on how to navigate and affirm Inuit identity and community engagement.
My Approach
I work with you to co-create conditions, spaces, and processes for systemic and transformative change.
My approach is trauma informed, strengths-based, human and heart-centred.
Multiple lenses are used to inform my work: decolonial, anti-racist, intersectional, anti-oppressive and Indigenous feminist.
A strategic partner for institutions, organizations, businesses, agencies or teams that engage with Inuit, and are moving towards racial equity, anti-racism and anti-oppression.
Offer guidance and support navigating:
* distinctions-based approach with Inuit
* reconciliation that is inclusive of Inuit
* outreach and engagement with Inuit living in southern Canada
* anti-racist, anti-oppressive and equitable ecosystems and spaces
Need support with facilitating dialogues, conversations, meetings, engagement sessions?
I offer eyes and ears for deep listening, equity and inclusion, cultural empathy and the ability to hold space for others.
A systems thinker who walks alongside you to bring people together to collaboratively effect change.
