Creating a culture that includes

You could have heard a pin drop, as one of the few people of color in the room voiced her truth – that, in fact, ‘those things’ had happened to her. In her company. With others in the room.

The power of data

I’m always thrilled to see how participants respond to data from psychometric tools. Granted, even the best of these should only be taken as a momentary snapshot of input into a questionnaire. But as far as comparisons with larger data sets of people in one’s own demographic (work experience, industry, education level, etc.), and with good scicence-based frameworks underpinning these, the level of introspection and questioning that results is powerful.

Get into the game

This is the second in a little series I’m putting together around Red Fern’s venture into the application of virtual reality immersions for better understanding (and personal action for change) of diversity, inclusion and belonging.

What is an HPLJ?

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Prof. Robert Brinkerhoff over the past year or two, and am currently a student (yes, trying to live the idea of continuous learning and improvement!) in an 11-week process of becoming one of his certified High Performance Learning Journey designers.

Book: Equipping Anti-Racism Allies

As the recipient of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee’s Love Resists grant for grassroots organizing, Allison has been working explicitly to bring along white allies for the past four years. As part of that work, she has partnered with Dr. David Campt. Together, they wrote Equipping Anti-Racism Allies (Unitarian Universalist edition).

Change management: Cultural shift for equity and excellence

You cannot achieve excellence if there is not equity; equity is useless if its goal is not excellence. Change is both frequent and disruptive. It creates discomfort and growing pains. Managing this change positively can allow for growth and realignment which are essential for long-term success. Staying focused on the vision while being both accountable and flexible builds synergy. If done well, the renewal process is on-going, purposeful, and reinvigorating.

Coaching and Personal Empowerment

Every person struggles with something that is holding them back – whether it is an internal negative voice or a loud and strong message from the dominant culture that they do not deserve to succeed – many of us have…
