No matter what you’re trying to do in this world, having business and personal relationships that are strong and characterized by trust and respect can only help you.
Problematic language is expensive.
And we bring the insights and expertise that help you plug the “leaky buckets” caused by problematic language, including: sales deals tanked by just a few words; alienated prospects, job candidates, or customers; employee disengagement and attrition; and discrimination and harassment lawsuits.
Worthwhile is on the leading edge of inclusive language theory and education. Our services are based on decades of original research, and offer actionable insights not found anywhere else.
The Inclusive Language Field Guide, which pairs with all our keynotes and workshops, is now available.
All of our Inclusive Language Services are grounded in the science of Linguistic Anthropology.

Inclusive Language Audits
We audit all kinds of client materials. This includes websites, job postings, guides for hiring managers, and employee handbooks.
We also review content: internal comms, newsletters, videos, camp programming, articles, and news broadcasts.
The result? A detailed report on what is and isn’t working, inclusive substitutions, and principles to guide you moving forward.
Inclusive Language Assessments
Want to assess the inclusive language awareness and skill levels of different teams in your organization?
We will run a customized assessment that lets you know:
1) how well a team understands inclusive language
2) their biggest areas of weakness, and the negative outcomes associated with those areas of weakness.
“Bringing Dr. Wertheim to train our Recruiting team on inclusive language was hugely impactful. I received a lot of positive feedback from participants right after the training that she helped our team members be more mindful of the language they use. And she created a safe space for participants to ask questions that they typically would be afraid to ask.”
