What are the outcomes that are important to your organization? Student success? Recruitment and retention of women and people of color in STEM & CTE fields? Improved collaboration? Culture that drives innovation? Kind and empathetic customer service? Inclusive work environments?
The barriers to success, like the outcomes listed, are numerous and complex, especially when considering dimensions of identity like race, gender, socio-economic status, ability, religion, and sexuality. However, we live in an unprecedented time that has exposed to a formerly unaware audience, many existing social issues like deeply rooted cultural biases, institutional barriers, and systemic oppression. By equipping individuals with increased awareness and tools for action, they can begin to integrate additional equitable strategies that will drive positive outcomes.
We are striving for equity and inclusion in education and the workforce.
Equity compensates for systemic inequalities. It is an explicit effort to level the playing field with the goal of reaching equality. We partner with organizations to create inclusive cultures that drive outcomes. We want to help you create an environment where:
- Everyone feels respected and valued.
- Everyone gets to show up as their true and authentic self.
- Everyone feels like they belong, and no one is marginalized.
- Diversity is not only welcomed, but celebrated.
- Systems and policies don’t oppress, and barriers are dismantled.
- The environment helps people reach their full potential.
WE CAN HELP YOU GET THERE.

Our Theory of Change
How We Work
Psychological safety, inclusion, and belonging are essential for creating workplaces, organizations, and environments where every person succeeds. However, neither happens by accident. We must Intentionally Engineer Inclusion® to facilitate and reach the optimal outcomes for our people and organizations.
Commonly framed from a deficit perspective, traditional “diversity” workshops and initiatives often feel punitive. People feel like leadership wants to “fix” them, and few people win in these scenarios.
Our theory of change is an asset- or strengths-based approach that draws from learning and motivation theory, provides an appropriately challenging experience, scaffolds communities of practice, and focuses on outcomes.
Our work concentrates on three key components: knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors because inspired awareness drives meaningful action.
- We aim to establish a shared vocabulary and equip participants with skills to recognize and discuss equity issues. We want participants to embrace systems thinking to acknowledge and address the complex, interconnected systems that perpetuate inequities, a perspective crucial for understanding the broader context within which DEI challenges exist and identifying leverage points for meaningful intervention.
- We aim to reveal the underlying beliefs in all of us that may limit our ability to contribute to equitable environments, and we guide shifting mindsets. We want participants to accept ownership of their role in facilitating cultures of belonging.
- We aim to co-create a roadmap for the essential and ongoing journey of equity-minded and inclusive individuals and organizations. We want participants to adopt a continuous improvement strategy, employing data-driven interventions to address root causes.
To do this, we honor our participants and invite them to join us on a journey to create a more equitable and inclusive environment for every person to reach their full potential.
When focused on organizational change, we work with employees to co-create solutions they feel empowered to enact and champion. Using advanced change methodologies, we position your organization for success.
As a service provider, we aim to empower our clients, positioning them at the forefront of success. We don’t see ourselves as heroes or saviors; instead, we are expert guides and supportive partners dedicated to enhancing the visibility and achievements of our in-house collaborators. We focus on enabling your team to excel, ensuring their skills and contributions are recognized and celebrated.
