Reflective Leadership & Effective Communication

In this initial workshop, we will lay the foundation for effective communication by establishing mutual understanding across communication styles and leadership values. Participants from all levels of the organization will get clear on their unique communication style along with that of their peers. Participants will explore skills for communicating across differences, effective problem solving and empathy building.

Racial Equity & Environmentalism

This workshop examines how compounded disparities affect communities of color across various aspects of society, such as socio-economic, political, educational, and health. Furthermore, it will focus on the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on communities of color and the lack of representation in decision-making spaces related to conservation and sustainability.

Foundations of Internalized Racism

Through this workshop, participants will gain a collective understanding of the implications of race and the unintentional ways in which we uphold these dynamics in our policies, practices, organizational culture, partnerships, funding, and decision-making. By critically examining these dynamics, participants can identify areas where they can create positive change and develop actionable strategies for addressing racial inequalities.

Decentering Dominant Culture

Participants will practice identifying the various attributes of a dominant culture in both the working environment and in personal behaviors and mindsets. Participants will leave with an understanding of how dominant culture harms us as individuals and our colleagues across all racial identities.

Social Identities & Intersectionality

By examining the intersectionality of different identities and understanding the impact of socioeconomics on organizational culture, participants will be better equipped to create inclusive and equitable workplaces. The workshop aims to provide actionable strategies that participants can use to eliminate systemic barriers and promote a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their organizations.

Recruitment & Retention for the 21st Century

The goal of this workshop is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to attract a diverse candidate pool and cultivate a culture that fosters diversity and dynamism in their teams. Participants will be required to objectively evaluate their current hiring, recruitment, evaluation, and staff development practices and strategies.

Our Assesments

Our Assessments

Our assessments measure culture, practices, and sense of belonging among staff as well as system structure, procedures, and program delivery of the organization. This assessment provides insights to help companies better understand the differing experiences of employees across social demographics via heatmaps.
