About Us, Gender Transitioning in the Workplace
Our Service
Thank you for visiting our site. You may be one of the many hundreds of professional people exploring or engaged in gender transition in the workplace hoping to find advocates and mentors to assist in, what can be, a quite daunting endeavor. Your goal: acceptance, affirmation, and celebration of the true you at work. Transition Planning Services (TPS) is privileged to proudly manage your journey.
As we start 2025, and as we look to the months/years ahead, we see headwinds and roadblocks for the Trans and non-binary community – especially at work. Political conditions in the U.S. are not currently trending in our favor. Transition Planning Services is committed now more than ever to assist transitioning workers through the process of acceptance by others; we will shepherd your path to professional fulfillment.
Transitioning in the workplace can be a stressful and intimidating experience. For some people, the challenge is so daunting, they delay transitioning for years or never make the commitment to become authentic selves at work.
With you, we guide a plan for your transition journey and deeply involve your [present or future] professional colleagues and stakeholders to ensure your workplace is welcoming, compassionate, and prepared to foster your future success. We prepare you to be a magnificent contributor to your business or firm, and help others appreciate and celebrate inclusion in the workplace.
Many professionals, young or mature, don't have a dedicated plan for workplace transition. Many suffer consequences when their transition becomes delayed, unnecessarily complex, or uncomfortable. To reduce the stress and anxiety that affects personal and work life, a careful, authentic, and well-choreographed transition plan may be necessary to achieve your goals.
Our Clients
TPS clients may be first-time job seekers trying to navigate new identities after college or internships. They may be mid-career professionals hoping to advance in their careers, but afraid a transition may jeopardize their progress. Some clients come to us from high-level executive positions with significant public profiles. They include leaders and influencers in commercial and tech businesses, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations.
TPS clients can’t risk a workplace transition going awry. They recognize that there are inherent complexities in organizational cultures, and they want assistance in forming a strategic plan, navigating a clear path that removes vulnerabilities and anxiety. They know that an investment in managing gender transition benefits their professional future, their mental and physical wellbeing, their full selves.
Our Approach
Personal trainer, mental health counselor, financial advisor…, people use these specialized services to enhance personal well-being and secure futures. Gender transition planning, for many, also requires a dedicated professional to help guide the process.
At Transition Planning Services, we will learn about your professional goals and your commitment and timeline to transition. We can help assess the current state of diversity and inclusion practices at your workplace to better understand the conditions you might encounter. We will discuss and chart the risks and opportunities of transition at your workplace. We will anticipate consequences - both good and bad - and develop plans to mitigate the latter. We can anticipate workplace dynamics of peers and management. We will help you work through the tasks of identifying, informing, and engaging stakeholders within your company and external to it.
We are advocates, advisors, coaches, mentors, and cheerleaders from the onset or your plan to the point in the transition process when you feel 'you have finally arrived'.
