White Leaders for Race Equity
An immersive coaching experience creating a safe and trusting environment for white leaders to deepen their learning and take courageous action. As a cohort, we work through exercises, activities, and frameworks designed to build equitable organizations.
Who is this for?
White executives, managers, and supervisors who are committed to dismantling racism in their organizations
Leaders who want to build equitable cultures and know that they can’t go it alone
Folks who believe in the power of transformative relationships and personal growth
The Experience
This is a 3-month program with 90-minute sessions every two weeks. You’ll build practical new skills, deepen your capabilities as a leader dedicated to race equity, and help your organization transition to an equitable and inclusive culture.
Facilitated group coaching
Equitable organization design frameworks
Mind and body resiliency practices
Community of change-makers who support each other
Small and trustworthy 10-member cohort of accomplished leaders
Why join?
Unlearning racism is an ongoing journey that’s best done in community. We teach each other, hold each other accountable, and motivate each other to take courageous action.
Cultural and systemic disruption is hard work—we need support as we use ourselves as strategic tools to build equitable organizations.
As white leaders, we are responsible for forwarding the action and deepening the learning without expecting people of color to do all the labor of teaching, pressuring, and strategizing inside our organizations.
Many of us don’t have strong ties to fellow white leaders committed to race equity (especially outside our own organization). So let’s build those ties!
