Welcome to our forLove Leadership Coaching – Where Integrity Meets Erotic Energy

In the realm of organizational leadership, facilitation, and the vibrant world of erotic events and play-parties, forLove is your trusted partner in navigating the delicate balance of erotic energy with integrity. Our coaching services are designed for leaders, facilitators, and event organizers who understand the sanctity of this space and the importance of fostering an environment grounded in true Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I), Accountability, and Consent.

In the evolving landscape of organizational values, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I) have become buzzwords that many companies throw around casually. It's easy to tweak a few images on a website, add "diversity" to a list of values, and call it a day. However, for forLove, D.E.I is not just a checkbox; it's a philosophy that permeates every aspect of our coaching work, challenging us to examine the gaps in how we serve and consider the diverse intersections within our community.

  • D.E.I is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it's a complex tapestry woven with the threads of individual experiences, identities, and perspectives. It goes beyond visual representation and delves into the nuances of each unique identity present in our community. It requires a genuine commitment to acknowledging and addressing the disparities that may exist, not just on the surface but ingrained in the very fabric of our practices.

  • Adding diverse faces to promotional materials or inserting keywords into mission statements might seem like easy fixes, but they often fall short of creating meaningful change. At forLove, we go beyond tokenism by actively seeking out the voices and needs of underrepresented communities within our network. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone's story is not only heard but valued and respected.

  • D.E.I is not just a set of policies; it's a guiding philosophy that influences our behaviors and decision-making processes. It's about understanding that diversity is a strength, equity is a right, and inclusion is a mindset. We challenge ourselves and our clients to examine biases, dismantle stereotypes, and actively work towards creating spaces that are not just diverse but genuinely inclusive.

  • For us, the journey toward true D.E.I involves an honest evaluation of our practices. We actively seek to identify gaps where certain intersections of our community may not be fully considered or served. It's about recognizing that every individual brings a unique set of needs and experiences to the table, and our coaching work should reflect a commitment to addressing these nuances.

  • We understand that true D.E.I is not achieved through grand gestures alone; it's about the everyday behaviors, decisions, and interactions that shape the culture of an organization. Our coaching services aim to instill lasting behavioral shifts, encouraging leaders and communities to actively embrace D.E.I as an ongoing journey rather than a destination.

The forLove Approach

Nurturing Integrity in Erotic Spaces

At forLove, we believe that holding space for others to explore intimacy (in all forms) is a blessing and a huge responsibility. We have seen the ways that eros can coexist harmoniously with leadership, facilitation, and community building when done with integrity. We have also seen the ways in which systems of harm can infultrate “safe-spaces” when we lack awareness and accountability. Our approach acknowledges that things like social conditioning and lack of resources/education influence mistakes in leadership ALL THE TIME, our coaching aims to be a judgement-free resource in moving with integrity.

Our approach begins with a deep exploration of what integrity means to you as a leader and to your organization or brand. We guide you through the process of aligning your values with the needs and experiences of the community you serve.

Our Focus Areas:

Elevating Leadership through D.E.I, Accountability, and Consent

At the core of our coaching work is a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We help you foster an environment that understands, respects and celebrates the diversity of needs and experiences within your community. We help shine light on blindspots and establish strategies for shifting not only behavior, but also the deeper philisophy and biases at play.

Consent, as the cornerstone of ethical interactions, is woven into every fabric of our coaching.

Accountability is another pillar of our work – we believe that D.E.I and Consent work without Accountability is lip service, and we’re not here for that. We assist in establishing clear community guidelines, behavioral expectations, and processes to ensure everyone (your community, your team, & yourself) feels heard, supported, and safe.

Our Process:

Transformative Steps Towards Erotic Integrity

  1. Discovery Session: Begin your forLove journey with a personalized discovery session. We work with you to understand your unique challenges, aspirations, and the cultural landscape of your organization.

  2. Uncovering Blindspots: We start most engagements by gathering data. To do this you will send out a report to community members, employees, volunteers, and customers to gather anonymous feedback about you and your organization.

  3. Customized Coaching: We use our blindspot report to tailor our coaching program to address your specific needs. Whether it's defining community guidelines or reinforcing accountability, we guide you step by step.
