If you are a leader or influencer do these statements resonate for you?

  • You’re uncertain or curious about how your organization and your leadership are perceived by people of a different race.
  • You wonder or know that you have had little exposure to people of different races or experiences.
  • You want to learn more about the tensions around racism.
  • You feel awkward at times when the topic of race arises – at work, among family, among friends, in organizations or clubs or communities.
  • You’ve wanted to explore racism with people outside your social or economic circles.
  • You’ve wondered if you have your own biases, prejudices and judgments, and want to learn more about this in a safe environment.
  • You’re interested in what other leaders have experienced along these same lines.
  • You’re willing to invest time grappling with these experiences and questions with other leaders.

We offer you three pathways to explore and advance racial equity – individually and collectively:

1. EXPLORING Racism Groups

A Foundational Seminar for Leaders

These half-day educational sessions are designed for individuals who are beginning to examine how racism operates in their lives and workplaces. Together we will:

  • Unpack the dynamics of systemic racism and how it shows up in personal and professional spaces
  • Reflect on the ways racism may be affecting you, your team, and your organization
  • Hear from other leaders of diverse backgrounds what they’ve found helpful – and what hasn’t worked
  • Identify steps you can take to become a more effective leader or influencer
  • Access resources for continued learning and growth.
  • See additional details. (Coming soon.)

2. ENGAGING Racism Groups

A Year-Long Peer Learning Experience

This is a deeper, more sustained commitment, a confidential small-group experience designed to build trust, expand perspective, and support real change.where you’d connect with a small group of other leaders. Over the course of the year, you will:

  • Engage with thought-provoking content from diverse voices and experiences
  • Participate in guided discussions about this content with other organizational leaders
  • Deepen your understanding of your own attitudes, biases and areas for growth
  • Explore real-life challenges and decisions in a safe, supportive circle
  • Build lasting relationships with peers who can walk alongside you
  • Develop a clear, personalized action plan to challenge racism in your spheres of influence
  • See additional details.

3. ENDING Racism Groups

Sustaining the Work, Amplifying Impact

These options provide you with a variety of means for support and enrichment as you put your convictions into practice. These may include:

  • Education and enrichment seminars with timely topics for leaders.
  • Engagement with a group dedicated to a specific joint action using combined resources for added impact.
  • Advanced learning sessions focused on real-time racial justice issues
  • Development of groups for leaders seeking support for institutional accountability.
  • Support for Program 2 cohorts that wish to continue meeting, and/or for Program 2 alumni looking to connect with another similar group for on-going learning, support and accountability.
  • This Program is under development. Details will be announced.
