Race Matters: Courageous Conversations for Leaders Group Coaching Program

Are you a leader who wants to effectively communicate with your team about matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and you are struggling with what to say? Do you find yourself paralyzed by the topic of racism?

Our Group Coaching Program will help you develop as a leader and cultivate meaningful relationships with your team through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. You will discover what’s behind those uncomfortable feelings and what stands in the way of you having productive conversations and forming deeper relationships with your employees.

The result? Authentic leadership, productive conversations, trusting relationships, and significant allyship.
