A short-term, strategic partnership supporting senior leaders and leadership teams through a specific moment, decision, transition, or crisis where equity and impact are at stake.

The Equity Lens Intensive is designed for moments when leaders need to slow down and look beneath the surface before acting. This work creates structured space to examine how power, equity, history, and organizational dynamics are shaping a particular situation, often during or immediately following a crisis or transition.

We work closely with senior leaders and leadership teams to “peel the onion,” identifying root causes, clarifying what is actually at issue, and understanding how different decisions may reinforce or disrupt inequity. The goal is not to solve everything, but to support clearer, more grounded strategic choices in a defined moment.

This engagement often includes:

• Facilitated strategic conversations with leadership teams focused on a specific incident, decision, or tension

• Examining how equity, power, and organizational context are shaping the moment at hand

• Surfacing underlying dynamics that may not be visible in the urgency of crisis

• Clarifying options, risks, and implications before next steps are taken

• Supporting alignment among senior leaders so action and communication are coherent and intentional

This work offers a reflective pause before action, supporting thoughtful, justice-centered decision-making without rushing to resolution.

Best for senior leaders and leadership teams seeking a focused, time-bound engagement to support clarity and strategic direction during a pivotal moment.

Integrated support for leaders and teams navigating moments of crisis, public scrutiny, or organizational harm, when leadership decisions and communication must move together.

Crisis is not separate from leadership; it reveals it. This offering combines leadership support with crisis communications guidance to help leaders respond with clarity, accountability, and care, rather than fear or damage control.

Support may include:

• Real-time leadership coaching during moments of crisis

• Guidance navigating racial harm, community trust, or internal breakdowns

• Strategic support for internal and external communication

• Preparation for high-visibility meetings, public statements, or stakeholder engagement

Best for leaders facing acute pressure, crisis, or moments where trust is on the line and communication is critical.
