About Us.

We founded The Shift as a response to our own workplace experiences, shaped by the stories shared by close family and friends

We've witnessed specific patterns in connection with different identities. If you don't fit the mold of being white, middle class, straight, able-bodied, and preferably male, its likely you've faced unnecessary obstacles during your career. These barriers stop people from reaching their full potential and authentically pursuing their purpose.

Our goal is to break down these obstacles and unite the rich and varied identities that make business — and life — so very full.

Acknowledging the historical consequences of advocating for equality and equity in past generations, we realise the power we hold today. It's a power capable of driving transformative change. We envision a world where unnecessary barriers are eradicated, paving the way for each individual to attain their inherent potential. Our goal is to shift our world into a dimension where everyone can thrive.
