Team Assessment: Racially Conscious Teams, Departments & Committees

About our Course:

What are the hallmarks of effective anti-racist teams?  How does your team measure up?  What are the strengths and gaps in your team? What is the plan to accelerate the growth of your team, and what tools will your team use to get there?  By the end of this seminar, participants will use an assessment to unpack the strengths and gaps in their team using the six frames of effective anti-racist collaboration.  You and your team will receive coaching and guidance from an anti-racist collaborative team development expert. By the end of the seminar, you will leave with a draft of the next steps you need to take to move anti-racism to the center of your team’s approach and work.   By joining this seminar, you are automatically a member of the Racially Conscious Collaboration community of leaders.  We have over 20-plus years of experience as organizational leaders and consultants committed to antiracism.  Our clients trust us to develop their leaders. They come from sectors as diverse as corporate marketing, Prek-12 education, higher education, city and county government, philanthropy, community-based organizations, healthy care, associations, and more.  Wherever leaders are, we are there, developing them to center anti-racism in their work.  This course is distinctly different from our other offerings as the focus unit is on team development.
