Time and time again, top organizational leaders wishes for space created especially for them to be open and vulnerable, express their fears, own mistakes, and openly imagine what this work must look like for them. We heard you, and we made this course just for you.

Our Expectations of Participants

Energy Commitment

In addition to the time commitment outlined below, we expect participants to be fully energetically and emotionally present for this cohort. We know you are busy and have a lot on your mind -- you wouldn't be an effective executive if you that wasn't true. And, we also know that whiteness compels white people to consider anti-racism work as voluntary, charitable, or an undertaking to attempt only once the luxury of "enough" time and resources are available to devote to it. We ask you to resist this narrative, to approach this work as critically necessary to our collective liberation and survival, and as equally worthy of your energy as anything else on your plate. We guarantee that everyone in the cohort will benefit from our collective intentional channeling of energy.
