Our change effort will unfold in three phases, preceded by two months of important preparatory work.

 

Paving the Way (2 months)

 

We will hold a foundational seminar, Foundations of Racially Conscious Collaboration, with a selected group of leaders from the organization, followed by smaller focus groups with executives, leaders, and BIPOC leaders if appropriate. Paving the Way introduces a common language we will use throughout this work, addresses how to care for the emotional health of yourself and others, and lays the foundation for your organization to internalize for a new lens of understanding necessary to embrace and enact sustainable change.

At this time, we will also conduct our initial assessment.

​

Then we will begin our work in earnest, through a customized combination of individual coaching, smaller group seminars, focus groups, and training.

Assessments will be conducted approximately three times a year throughout the project.

 

Phase I: Internalization (6 months)

​

Leaders will engage in relevant learning and practice and change efforts at the personal and professional levels. We will also train three to five individuals to become certified RCC Collaborators™ to ensure this work continues after our engagement ends.

 

Phase II: Integration (12 months)

​

You will use your increased competency to assess, reimagine, and begin to engage different strategies for your work and organization.

 

Phase III: Deep Implementation (12 months)

​

You will learn how to keep this new muscle toned and healthy, continually testing, refining, and course-correcting with our expert coaching to adapt to evolving relationships and situations so that your change effort “sticks” for the long term.
