We believe that being equity-centered requires us to approach all organizational goals and decision making with equity-centered tools and solutions.
We use coaching as our primary facilitative tool for transformation, which is a different approach to DEIB than styles that take educational, training, advocacy, or compliance approaches to it's practice.
Our approach is based on equity-centered coaching competencies including: client-centeredness, cultural responsiveness, being trauma-informed, and strong coaching theory and practice.
Our clients report our coaching approach as a key difference in their outcomes and ability to see the impact of their effort when compared against previous DEIB efforts.
Embedding equity-centered strategies into your recruitment and hiring processes will allow you to attract top candidates from diverse backgrounds who share your organizations commitment to equity.
Delivering on your commitments to create an equity-centered workplace cultures promotes employee engagement and retention by creating an environment where all employees feel heard, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work.
Embedding equity-centered practices into your program, product, and service delivery will increase customer satisfaction, outcomes, and loyalty by demonstrating the organization's commitment to social responsibility and ethical business practices.
Trudi Lebron, our founder and principal consultant has over 20 years of experience working in the fields of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), human services, nonprofit leadership, and education.
She holds a Masters of Science in Psychology, and is currently a PhD candidate in Social Psychology studying coaching as a tool to foster DEIB.
Despite all of our experience, you are the expert in your work and your life, and our job as coaches is to give you insights, wisdom, and to cultivate the experience and expertise held in your community.
Together, we'll be brilliant.
Here are some ways we can work together.
Because we're all too human for that.
