Reclaiming the Legacy of Our Thriving Black & Brown Communities
The Radical Shift Proposition
With over 75 years of collective experience in coaching and consulting for equity and impact, we’ve joined forces to develop a transformative learning experience. The Radical Shift is a development matrix that prepares coaches and consultants of color to support leaders of color and their community impact mission. Moreover, we feel an urgency to share with new generations of capacity builders the more than 100 years of wisdom poured into us by our own mentors, civil and labor rights leaders.
The Radical Shift is a bold new whole system approach with one objective: to reclaim our legacy as thriving and sustainable Black and Brown communities.
Shared Power
A paradigm of shared power requires liberatory practice honoring every voice in the self-determination of our collective reality.
Authentic Engagement
We believe in collaboration and connection that is authentic, affirming, and courageous to cultivate trust and solidarity.
Strategic Intentionality
We practice critical reflection, visionary planning, and bold action to achieve intentional and sustainable results.
