Consulting
Consultation work is meant to build upon the progress made during CCAR to launch professional and organizational change.
This service provides us the opportunity to navigate any predictable and emerging resistance alongside you, while redesigning practices and policies to create a more racially equitable, diverse and inclusive space for your company or organization.
This service is also available on a case-by-case basis to clients who may be seeking help with unique situations that require more nuance.
Coaching
This service is ideal for entities that are trying to navigate through a current, internal issue or concern within their organization. Courageous Conversation® serves as their partner in helping to identify standards for equitable solutions as well as existing areas of interrogation that they may not have considered.
Structure of this service is highly dependent on the unique circumstance of the client. Frequency of coaching sessions and expected goals are developed in collaboration with each client at the start of the coaching relationship.
