About our Course:
After the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor there was a proliferation of public commitments to anti-racism from many of us that were not prepared to sustain. Pushback is inevitable anytime we advance toward a more positive racial identity as individuals, organizations, and society. Antiracist leaders know that retrenchment is a predictable force that we sadly expect, yet develop tools for as part of our effectiveness. So, what can we do to sustain our commitments to racial equity change? Beliefs drive behavior and drive results. In this seminar, we will focus on how we can rejuvenate, initiate, and sustain our efforts to center anti-racism in our personal and professional leadership development and organizational change efforts. As practitioners and consultants, we have been obsessed with sustainability in our racial equity change efforts for over 20 years. We prepare anti-racist leaders across sectors daily and can help you do the same. Since racism won't stop, we won't stop preparing you for effective anti-racist leadership development and organizational change.
