Working with you for antiracist organizational change
Our Services
We work with you to provide a range of services tailored to meet your DEI and antiracism needs.
Executive Coaching
Institutional leaders set the tone and expectations for DEI and antiracism work within organizations. They are empowered for structural change. We coach leaders from a range of industries--including education, health care, and non-profits--to hone their DEI message, work toward concrete structural change, and self-reflect on and grow in their role within antiracist work at their institutions.
DEI/Antiracism Workshops
How does your organization provide professional learning on DEI principles and practices? We provide small and large group facilitation, consultation, and training on best practices in antiracist structural change. We move beyond one-shot, cookie cutter workshops to stick with you as work groups within your organization develop and implement DEI goals and initiatives.
Speaking Engagements
What is antiracism and how will it shift the culture of your organization? We provide interactive presentations for large groups to help you define terms, align goals and delineate expectations around DEI work. Our speaking engagements provide opportunities for dialogue, self-reflection, and group interaction to transform your staff's ability to communicate compassionately and courageously in the service of this important work.
