“Like all societies and civilizations, our relationality - and the values upon which it is based- makes us who we are, [as Edward Valandra said] ‘we must follow our original instructions: to be good relatives.’”

The Red Deal

Overview

Here at Activate we offer three categories of services, but they often intertwine to create the highest impact. We always start by getting to know your organization - its vision, challenges and hopes - to collaborate with you on a unique engagement that meets your needs.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

Inclusive Leadership Development

 

Coaching

 

All the diversity in the world will not generate an inclusive environment. We support you in examining practices, processes, and culture to root out inequities that prevent full belonging and participation. We are driven to make a sustainable difference in your organization, not simply react to a crisis. To this end we offer data-collection, strategy work, training, individual and/or team coaching, and consulting to advance the journey towards equity.

 

Inclusive Leadership Development

 

We believe that leaders exist everywhere and that leadership is a choice not a title. Emphasizing proven skills and mindsets that create thriving organizations, Activate offers an array of leadership development solutions to meet the moment. Since each organization’s context and challenges are unique, we come with a “lego” set of content to customize offerings, from targeted manager impact series to longer programs, all delivered in live virtual or in-person formats.

 

Coaching

 

We stand by the democratization of coaching - offering personalized formats depending on who you are, not your status. Engagements can be targeted to a particular opportunity or based on a long-term development plan. Our members all share the philosophy of “compassionate accountability,” working with you to illuminate blind spots, address self-limitations and more successfully navigate your career. We are very mindful of the impact of identity and ensure the right match to support valuable conversation and insights.
