A journey is called that because you cannot know what you will discover on the journey, what you will do, what you will find, nor what you find will do to you.

Anti-Racism Work
Creating a healthy culture requires trusting and respectful relationships. People have to commit to the internal work of undoing what has been culturally programmed into us. Learning the historical context of systemic racism and oppression, examining and unpacking privilege, and the willingness to look within and see how we can do better is necessary and vital work. Anti-racism work requires being open-minded, committed, and willing to be uncomfortable to make a better future for the company and the world.

Distributed Leadership Systems Creation
Distributed leadership sees tasks stretched or distributed across the organization. It is transparent, collaborative, and sometimes dynamic. Shifting away from a hierarchical structure creates more opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas, expanding individuals’ skill sets, and a better understanding of ‘the big picture.’ In practice, distributed leadership will look different from company to company. We act as facilitators and thought partners on this journey.

Social Impact Strategy Creation and Implementation
Every company has a “culture” whether it is acknowledged or not, and that culture is shaped by the leaders. When we discuss the creation of a healthy workplace culture, we are describing the intentional creation of an environment built to advance the productive actions of the work community— but also an environment for society at large to model.
The workplace is an organic structure where people, with a wide range of lived experiences, come together to advance a common goal. A “we” is naturally created in the workplace.Imagine the impact companies could have by replacing “beer pong Friday” with policies that center humanity, kindness, and radical cooperation—policies that support what is most important to the “we”.
