We guide directors, CEOs, and other leaders on their DEI journey by envisioning and creating an effective space of action. This means identifying patterns, stories, and blocks so that you feel resourced and strengthened in your connection to others. By working with us, leaders increasingly become a source of wisdom, care, and calm in their workplace and, more generally, in the lives of others.

We use our neuro-narrative method with organizations to build their internal capacity to support an inclusive culture. This involves creating a network of internal champions who understand their own strength and feel empowered to make change. This network then functions as a firm foundation for all future inclusion efforts. Our partnership gives you the capacity to foster and maintain a thriving culture long after our work together is complete.

In order to foster an inclusive culture, we have to experience one. Sagely creates both cross-institutional and organizational programs using small group cohorts as our foundation. Our facilitated groups give participants the chance to learn about the neuroscience behind inclusion and to practice responding with compassion that invites innovation. Participants finish our work together with both factual knowledge and a felt sense of the culture they are working to foster.

We work with key leaders to create the framework for a centralized and thorough culture change program. Our initial plan begins with 20-30 hours of support and evolves according to your needs. We help you spot themes, identify patterns, and envision solutions. You benefit from our bird's eye perspective and, most importantly, you know and feel that you are not alone in the process. We determine together where to focus your efforts, what you can accomplish internally, and where external help is most effective.

We meet with leaders and organizations to talk about healing and inclusion. Topics that we cover include the neuroscience of emotional processing, culture patterns and narrative, trauma-informed DEI, working with high achievers and imposter syndrome, and sharing information about historical traumas in healing and productive ways. We also create small group facilitated workshops. Virtual and in-person available.

We create group programs and events that foster connection. Employees feel more supported because they clearly see what is impacting their experience and they do not feel alone in seeking resolution. Our groups are tailored to the needs of each organization we work with. They meet regularly and respond to the needs of the participants. Our facilitated experiences give employees a sense of connection that differs from what they have known work to be. This gives them a chance to envision greater and contribute more fully.
