Training
At Racially Conscious Collaboration™, we don’t just deliver training. We equip people to see differently, lead differently, and drive lasting change. Guided by our research-based Six Hallmarks of Effective Leadership & Organizations™, our interactive trainings build your capacity to effectively navigate race and intersecting identity differences, strengthen healthy dialogue and collaboration, and operationalize racial and intersectional equity from frontline employees to management, executive leadership, and the boardroom. Through our signature Foundations of Racially Conscious Collaboration Seminar™ and advanced, customized learning experiences, we assist individuals, teams, and organizations in translating their values and commitments into everyday leadership practices, organizational culture, and measurable results. Trusted by leaders across sectors nationally and internationally, we help you move beyond awareness and good intentions toward sustained leadership effectiveness, systemic change, and racial equity.
Leadership Development
Our Leadership Development series equips current and emerging leaders to lead with racial equity and intersectionality at the center. Leaders start with an assessment using the RCCI™, a profile and initial guidance. Each seminar is aligned to an individual leader’s growth across our Racially Conscious Collaboration Six Hallmarks of Effective Anti-Racist Leadership & Organizations™, ensuring development that is strategic, measurable, and deeply rooted in your context.

Systemic Transformation
DESCRIPTION
Systemic Transformation with RCC moves you beyond training into lasting culture change and sustainability. Our three-phase approach begins with Internalization, where you choose the appropriate organizational assessment scope from the use of the RCCI™ to accompanying qualitative methods like focus groups, interviews, and document analysis to determine a data-based approach to improving your organizational performance on six hallmarks of effectiveness. Next, we build your team’s capacity to engage and sustain healthy cross-racial dialogue and action using our heralded, field-tested Racially Conscious Collaboration Tool™.
In Integration, we help you apply the tool to assess your culture—including policies, practices, and norms—using our research-based Six Hallmarks of Effective Anti-Racist Leaders and Organizations™ to identify strengths and challenges.
Finally, in Implementation, we continue as your journey partner to embed racial equity into daily decisions, leadership, and systems, so transformation becomes not just possible, but permanent.

"The experience of going through Collaborator Certification has been truly transformational on a personal and career level! I may have earned my certification, but in the end, I feel like I gained a family of supportive collaborators whom I can lean on as we continue to strive for racial equity.

Bailey Kasten
Association Executive
Of all the DEI-related coursework I have done, nothing compares to the Racially Conscious Collaboration framework, sessions, and Collaborator certification I have dived into in the last year. The others gave me checklists, while Racially Conscious Collaboration changed me. I'm able to hold extended, thoughtful, and productive conversations about race thanks to Dr. Tony Hudson, President, and his team. I can't imagine doing equity work without this deep dive and comfort-building, and I cannot recommend working with Dr. Hudson and Racially Conscious Collaboration enough to any leader in my circle. So proud of this part of my journey. Thank you to Shaundra Brown, for being a great Collaborator coach.
Fadzi Whande
Senior Diversity & Inclusion Advisor, United Nations
I attended Foundations of Racially Conscious Collaboration feeling extremely exhausted from the global events of the last 12 months. Once the seminar got started Tony was highly engaging. It is highly interactive and provided a safe space for me to be reflective, give space to others and move forward in my racial consciousness. I feel more equipped to begin the transformative work ahead of me. I highly recommend this seminar as you will learn actionable takeaways that you can apply immediately.
Zakkiyah Baker, Area Cooperative Educational Services
Principal, Wintergreen Intermediate Middle School
Very often, I have participated in professional learning experiences where facilitators carefully address aspects of the challenges, yet rarely are they brave enough to confront the root causes. Black children deserve to shine brightly, and acknowledging the impact that race and racism has on our experiences while engaging in healthy racial dialogue is vital to our ability to create lasting change in schools that hold the lives of Black children in their hands. As a Black female school leader, it was a relief to have Dr. Tony Hudson as a sounding board, thought partner, and professional coach who supported me with a concrete tool I could use to protect my peace while effectively addressing the underlying issue behind many of the barriers I have encountered in the work of educating Black children: racism.
Manisha Bharti
Foundation CEO
“Truly-I feel like I could write a book about the ways in which you have been helpful to me, our organization, and with each opportunity, I have to engage with you-I feel like we are so in the right hands with you-you have this incredible ability to challenge and probe, and all in "loving accountability".
I can’t wait for our sessions together as I know we are just going to go deeper and deeper; you are helping me be a better person, parent, colleague, supervisor, and, hopefully, change agent. We are So privileged to be working with you, I am so grateful!”
Kim Keller
City Manager, City of St. Louis Park
I love RCC's approach to race equity work. While many organizations feel a great urgency to have better outcomes, often limited attention is paid to building strategy and "muscle' around cross-racial dialogue. RCC differentiates itself by taking a "yes, and" approach. "Yes, we have to use the tools we have now to make progress. And, we have to continually build our capacity to dive more deeply into the work and have a stronger racial analysis as we move through the world." RCC accomplishes this through a series of training and engagements, which are developed to meet people where they are, create systems of advocacy and support through the organization, and drive meaningful engagement and change.
