Organizational Services with Sarah B. Ottow
Sarah’s Proven Language Lens® Approach
Language is essential to promote connection, inclusivity and productivity. Yet language can unintentionally confuse and exclude, leaving out those we are most trying to reach, especially when working with populations acquiring English as an additional language. Whether supporting those inside or outside of your organization, there are specific strategies you can use to make sure that language is helping, not hindering, your organizations’s message and overall productivity.
With the support of Sarah and her Language Lens™ approach, your organization will be better equipped to put essential supports in work culture, materials, services, and day-to-day communication, creating more accessibility and equity to diverse language groups and, in turn, increase productivity for all stakeholders.
