What she brings to her work is a specific brand of authenticity, mixed with a sincere passion for helping to change cultures and build stronger organizations.  Recently, Shantera started working with the ALLY Academy to share her offerings with a range of energy professionals who are looking to bring more inclusivity into their work environments. She currently has a program called the Transformative Ally Framework. It’s a 6-session deep dive into becoming an ally within your organization, and it is based upon three pillars: Advocacy, Support, and Coexistence.  ## Transformative Ally Framework© Created by PowHer Consulting, this program will leverage the ALLY Roadmaps and platform of fresh content and insights to help companies create evergreen action plans [Register Here](https://allyenergy.com/faculty/ally-framework-certification-3/) Shantera is also hosting a Culture Catalyst workshop on different dates in February. This workshop is hinged upon building an inclusive workplace grounded in listening and effective communication ## Culture Catalyst Course Build strong cultures effectively. [Register Here](https://allyenergy.com/events/culture-catalyst-building-strong-cultures-effectively-2/) As one of ALLY Energy’s main focuses is to build a diverse supply chain, Shantera and her work have been a great fit for moving us toward a new energy future. At ALLY, we believe that a diverse supply chain will usher in a new wave of innovation and creativity to take things to the next level.  Shantera believes that in every organization, where there are trust and communication issues, there are usually diversity and inclusion issues as well.  > The world we're living in is diverse, and representation matters. > > Shantera Chatman > [Tweet](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=The+world+we%27re+living+in+is+diverse%2C+and+representation+matters.+%E2%80%94+Shantera+Chatman&url=https%3A%2F%2Fallyenergy.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin-ajax.php)  "The main benefit of what I do is bring to light any issues around trust, communication, and collaboration; and I help my clients work through those issues,” said Shantera. "If a team is more trusting, they’re going to communicate more and be able to collaborate well, which means their deliverables and positive results will increase. That will eventually lead to an increase in the bottom line.  That is the value proposition for the work I do.” ## Related Posts [![The ITC Fire is Out, But the Heat is Still On](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/bonfire-burning-campfire-fire-270815-p2s24z6a2u57psovtb5z3igdxzj6nh9xl3ky3nop6w.jpeg) Energy Insights The ITC Fire is Out, But the Heat is Still On ![](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Blog%20Authors/ally_one.jpeg) ALLY](https://www.allyenergy.com/blog/the-itc-fire-is-out-but-the-heat-is-still-on) [![Fueling the Future: Preparing the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry For the Mobility Revolution](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/EV_KPMG-p2s023d5lzmus5gp2xvygeqe8wmhfjzragkdq2psw8.jpeg) Energy Insights Fueling the Future: Preparing the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry For the Mobility Revolution ![](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Blog%20Authors/ally_one.jpeg) ALLY](https://www.allyenergy.com/blog/fueling-the-future-preparing-the-downstream-oil-and-gas-industry-for-the-mobility-revolution) [![Working in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry During a Global Pandemic (Part 1)](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Covid-Monitoring-Offshore-Rig-1-p2sq7p6twamf5nq7rgepqaqgzhkf853rqz7vnsl5s8.jpeg) Member Insights, Storytelling & Personal Branding Working in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry During a Global Pandemic (Part 1) Amanda Barlow](https://www.allyenergy.com/blog/offshore-oil-and-gas-during-a-global-pandemic-part-1) ### Subscribe Here!
