EDI WORKSHOPS
Transform your workplace culture with practical, engaging workshops that drive real change
Workshops
Donna Fraser delivers bespoke workshops designed to help organisations strengthen leadership capability, embed inclusion and build confident, high-performing teams. As a 4x Olympian, OBE recipient and experienced inclusion adviser, Donna brings credibility, warmth and practical insight to every session she leads.
Her approach is grounded in lived experience. Across more than two decades competing at the highest level of international athletics, Donna developed the resilience, discipline and mindset required to perform consistently under pressure. Following her breast cancer diagnosis and recovery, she moved into senior leadership and advisory roles, supporting organisations across sport and business to navigate change and create more inclusive cultures. This journey, from elite sport to board-level influence, shapes the depth and authenticity behind her work today.
"Donna's ED&I workshops are engaging yet thought provoking, ensuring participants leave with a better understanding of others as well as themselves." – Hayley Kingdom, HR Director, Burtons Biscuits
Bespoke Leadership, Performance & EDI Workshops
Donna delivers a suite of tailored workshops covering goal setting, leadership development, personal brand, health and wellbeing, and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Each workshop is thoughtfully designed around your organisation's specific objectives, ensuring the content is aligned with your strategy and meaningful for your people.
Before any session takes place, Donna invests time in understanding your culture, challenges and aspirations. This discovery process allows her to shape sessions that address real scenarios and lived experiences within your teams. Workshops can be delivered in person or online and are always interactive, encouraging open dialogue, reflection and practical application.
Organisations commonly partner with Donna to:
- • Develop confident, authentic and accountable leaders
- • Strengthen inclusive behaviours at every level
- • Improve collaboration across diverse and multi-generational teams
- • Support wellbeing and sustainable high performance
- • Embed organisational values into everyday decision-making
Her facilitation style balances honest storytelling with structured frameworks and group discussion. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own leadership approach, challenge assumptions and consider how their actions influence culture. Rather than focusing solely on theory, Donna ensures individuals leave with clear, practical steps they can apply immediately.
The outcome is more than a productive session. It is a shared commitment to growth, stronger relationships and lasting cultural change.

Testimonials
Donna presents in an enthusiastic and very spontaneous way, which immediately brings the whole group on board. It is not only her natural charm that engages the audience, but also the clear expertise behind what she shares. The combination of authenticity and knowledge makes her contribution of very high quality. Very happy with your engagement for European Athletics and hopefully more collaborations to come in the future.
Liese Schroven, Development Manager, European Athletics
Donna brings a rare mix of credibility and practicality, she doesn't just talk about personal brand, confidence and communication, she makes it real, accessible and actionable. In Ignite Hi-Potential sessions she struck exactly the right balance of energy, challenge and psychological safety. The group warmed up quickly, and once they did, Donna got everyone contributing, not just the usual confident voices. The breakout structure and prompts landed well, and people left with tangible actions (not just “nice ideas”) around how they show up, how they’re perceived, and how to be more intentional with stakeholders in a hybrid environment. What I particularly value is how she connects personal brand to emotional intelligence and day-to-day behaviours, it makes the topic feel grounded, not fluffy. She also reads the room brilliantly and adjusts in the moment, which is a big deal with mixed cohorts (different functions, seniority and confidence levels). We’ve had consistently strong feedback from participants and sponsors, and I’d happily recommend Donna to any organisation looking for a facilitator who can shift thinking and behaviour, especially around personal brand, confidence and communication.

I can highly recommend Donna's setting goals workshop! Ideal for a team build - simple structure- enabling the attendees to be creative and share personal and work led objectives in a safe and supportive environment! Donna is inspirational and coaches all to strive for that little bit more.
