May Public Foundations Seminar

About our Course:

The Racially Conscious Collaboration Tool™, which carries the same name as our company, is designed to sustain healthy racial dialogue, positive racial identity development, and action.  It impacts and sustains personal introspection, conversations with others and teams, and anti-racist, intersectional organizational change.  It is also the foundation of a larger suite of tools and change processes we use to generate change.

Foundations of Racially Conscious Collaboration is professional development that was designed specifically to ensure that you gain immediate, deep personal and professional practice with the Racially Conscious Collaboration Tool. The Foundations seminar is a highly engaging, visually stunning experience crafted to coach you and each participant to identify and accelerate the progression of your racial readiness.

For some, this seminar will serve as a prerequisite for our Collaborator Certification™ and other leadership and organizational development programming. For many, this seminar will immediately provide you with the tools you need to keep the spotlight on race in your reflection, conversation, and collaborative decision-making.
