About Us
Today’s workforce has changed:
A demonstrated shift in the 21st century workplace demographics has occurred, as many organizations have been successful in the recruitment of women and people of color; but have not been as successful in their advancement and retention, with many organizations still being hierarchical in nature and having large power imbalances with the majority of the power-base still residing with white men at the top of organizations. In addition, for the first time five generations are working together in today’s workforce; and while all women experience many of the same challenges in the workplace, there is a reported difference in how women of the majority group and women belonging to non-majority groups experience barriers in the workplace. This representative change is challenging leaders and their organizations in a way like never before to shift in their very way of being.
Who We Are
We are a team of multidisciplinary practitioners, (Executive Coaches, Management Consultants, Organizational Development (OD) practitioners, Experiential Facilitators, Thought-Partners and Advisors) with front-line experience leading across difference in the military, government, corporate and social sectors; both domestic and abroad.
Our Approach
We help leaders cultivate diverse, equitable and inclusive (DEI) workplaces by helping them bridge across differences to effectively manage a 21st century workforce. Because the multiple dimensions of diversity and the intersections thereof, reflected in today’s workforce demand it. We also focus on leaders because they are at the nexus of the organizational change paradox aimed at creating more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces. And, they often struggle in implementing desired changes required to help shift organizational culture and systems to be more aligned with espoused values and stated intentions.
We also focus on helping underrepresented women because they are often the least supported and most vulnerable in the system. And we know, when we solve for the most vulnerable in a system, everyone benefits.
And as systems thinkers, our approach is always viewed through an integrative, holistic lens steeped in the latest research and behavioral-based competencies, informed by demonstrated large-scale change practices; as well as, humanistic and positive psychology principles delivered through a process consultative model; with an experiential learning approach and reinforced through one-on-one coaching support.
We Believe
Organizations are multi-dimensional systems with a complex web of interconnected parts that conspire to shape human behavior and thoughts, both conscious and unconscious.
