Our comprehensive strategy and commitment to centering relationships provide a strong foundation for advancing social justice solutions.
Our partners are inquisitive leaders: those seeking to understand inequality and systems of oppression, are critical thinkers open to self-reflection, and who desire to make a positive impact in their community. We view our collaborators as experts in their practice and thought partners in discussing organizational specifics— recognizing that we also learn from them.
We are excited to work with a wide range of clients from a variety of industry sectors, including corporate/business, medical/healthcare, nonprofits and foundations, government, law and education. For those inspired to create a more inclusive and equitable community, we are your partner and support you with customized programs to positively transform people and places.
Testimonials
“The learning environment facilitated both a transfer of knowledge and an opportunity for interaction. The case studies provided allowed our members to work together, gain insight, and share awareness with one another. Counselors across Michigan are now better equipped to recognize their own bias, process the bias, and actively work against bias that marginalizes clients.”
