Organizational Transformation

When it comes to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI), it is one thing to believe in the concept and quite another to embody the principles and practices. When your organization commits to workplace equity, you want the commitment to be sustainable, adopted at all levels, and to carry on in perpetuity.

With organizational transformation, we focus on assessment, strategy, goals, and change in a multi-dimensional fashion to achieve those long-lasting results. Specifically, organizational transformation requires examination of structures, systems, policies, procedures, practices, and people in order to foster a JEDI culture and embed equity as a way of doing business.

Training

Training provides a foundational understanding of concepts, language, histories, and practices related to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI). Training is NOT a substitute for organizational transformation, but it is a good way to gain understanding about what Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are, how they differ, and the characteristics of workplace equity and presents strategies for undoing inequity. Training provides opportunities for reflection and learning, and provides some guiding pillars to help guide transformation, but it does not actually bring about transformation on its own.

Sample trainings include:

The Value of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The Foundations of Structural Oppression
The Characteristics & Manifestations of White Supremacy Culture
Recognizing & Responding to Identity-Based Harm
Identity Based Harm in Education
Identity Based Harm in Policing
Identity Based Harm in Child Welfare
Identity Based Harm in Corrections
Trauma Informed Care
Racial Trauma in Adolescents
Understanding Gender Identity
What is Restorative Justice?
Self-Care for BIPOC in the Workplace

Mentoring & Leadership Coaching

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) work is intense. It requires introspection and change on a number of levels. Many executives and leaders find themselves struggling to keep up and figure out how to actualize the concepts. Mentoring and Leadership coaching is designed to guide you through your own transformation as a person responsible for ensuring JEDI-conscious workplace practices.

Mentoring is an opportunity to learn from someone who has relevant experience that can help someone grow and develop. In the JEDI realm, mentoring often involves supporting people in marginalized positions as they navigate the majority-dominant workplace (e.g. supporting a person of color in a white-dominant workplace), or it can involve working with someone who has recently taken on a JEDI leadership role who wants support as they develop.

Coaching is an opportunity to explore and develop an individual’s professional leadership skills and goals in JEDI, but we also provide leadership coaching for other leadership skills and qualities as well.

Mentoring and coaching can take place over a few sessions or a few years, depending on your identified needs.

Restorative Justice

Restorative Justice is an indigenous practice most often associated with the Maori of New Zealand. It has evolved in communities and organizations as a person-centered, structured opportunity to promote healing in the process of repairing harm. Whether it is in the workplace, school, or criminal justice system, we can facilitate restorative justice processes to support fair and equitable resolution of difficult situations.

Sample situations where restorative justice can be used:

Repair harm in schools
Address family issues in child welfare
Create healing and reparation in criminal cases
Resolve conflict between staff
Navigate a decision-making on a contentious topic
