ABOUT
Cultural Competency is Part of Leadership
DEI is a vast topic. Hard to define and even harder to measure, doing it well is a high priority for young people. Managing it effectively starts with skills to resolve differences that matter. We help you avoid disconnects such as:
- People talking past each other- or not at all
- Tense and out-of-sync teams
- Discouraged employees who under-perform or leave
Our Purpose & Vision
We think communication is integral to improving organizational capacity, competitiveness, and success. Our vision is a more equitable USA economy where middle and working class families thrive. See FAQ.
