Transformational initiatives related to diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental, as they create the foundation for all organizational culture.
A culture that embraces diversity seeks to expand and leverage the representation of varied collective and individual identities, strengthening teams through creativity, increased performance, effective problem solving, insightful decision making, and authentic and respectful connection with internal and external constituencies. Organizational structures that are inclusive create a culture of belonging, where employees are actively invited to contribute and participate in service of a larger, more meaningful vision.
Our DEI Offerings
A leader’s mission is to synchronize and align culture, structure, and systems to achieve an identified strategy. Transformational initiatives related to diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to pieces of that puzzle, as they create the foundation for all organizational culture. We meet you where you're at and leverage your already existing programs, processes, structures, and success.
Our DEI Offerings Include:
- Short, impactful workshops (live, virtual and in-person), 60-90 minutes
- DEI Team Retreats, 1-3 days
- Individual and Team Assessments
- Individual and Team Coaching
- DEI Courses, 60 minutes to full day
- Organizational DEI Transformation Projects, 6 to 12 months
For our clients who are embarking on a complete DEI program and transformation, we take a four-phased approach. We begin with an Assessment, phase I, where we explore our client’s intercultural competence, culture, strategy, systems, structure, and relationships with their community partners to determine the key leverage points and needs to make the desired impact. We then engage in phase II, DEI Plan Development, where we create a fully customized set of strategies that includes education, coaching, and consulting to close the gap from where our clients, their affiliated communities of color, and grass-root organizations are and where they want to be. In phase III, DEI Implementation, we move forward with the plan and constantly analyze and adapt the process to ensure that the stated and emerging goals are met and the desired results are generated. We conclude with Evaluation and Next Steps, phase IV, where we conduct a post-assessment to measure the effectiveness of our work together and insure that all the work we have done together is integrated and sustainable.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice
We are proud to serve a wide variety of clients. The leaders, teams, and organizations we work with range in size, location, culture, field, and expertise. The individuals in these organizations are richly diverse in terms of race, age, spiritual beliefs, ethnicity, place of origin, sex, language, sexual orientation, and abilities. We help them explore their ever evolving social identities. We see the genius in all of them and are honored to be part of their journeys. We are proud to be a woman-owned and woman-led organization, acknowledging the gap in gender representation that still exists in our society.
DEI Commitment
We are committed to racial equity and social justice principles. They guide us as leaders and speak directly to our company values. We conduct our work with empathy, kindness, and deep responsibility because we believe in the dignity of all humans from all backgrounds. We believe in giving priority to the vulnerable and the oppressed, understanding our role in lessening the divisions of society. We honor all human life as a principle of social justice, encouraging involvement, collaboration, and solidarity as an ethic of care where we acknowledge our interdependence in every aspect of the human experience.
We are voracious learners and seek to continue to grow and expand ourselves in the DEI space. We focus on increasing our self awareness, understanding our own social identities, and using our unique privileges to be powerful, responsible advocates for others. We are constantly and continuously challenging our assumptions and shifting our paradigms as the social conversation evolves and the ideals and values of the DEI movement advance in our culture.
DEI Curriculum Customizable Courses & Workshops
We believe in the effectiveness of experiential learning, via settings such as facilitated sessions and workshops, group and team discussions, and individual and independent learning. Our proposal gives the organization the flexibility to select from our developed courses or to request development of custom courses. Our developed courses includes Stereotype Threat Workshop, Action Learning Workshops, Diversity Concepts and Developments, DEI Challenges and Opportunities, Diversity Categories, Diversity Perceptions and Biases, and Inclusive and Effective Teaming. Our courses and workshops are all customizable to the developmental stages of your employees and organization. They are roughly outlined as foundational, intermediate, and advanced, but all topics can be adjusted to your unique situation. All courses can be offered as 60 minute introductions to full day workshops.

Our Friends We Keep Great Company
Was brilliant to get beyond the book into operationalizing the thinking. It was an enlightening and enjoyable couple of days.
The impact of Tribal Leadership workshops is nothing short of amazing. After one exposure to the ideas, people use the words on a daily basis. After several exposures, people lead and manage in different ways, and get better results.
I met CultureSync at an HR round table event and immediately connected! They were so genuine about caring for people. Whether we are partnering on business skills training or talking about providing mentoring and coaching sessions, I know my team members are in the best hands. CultureSync takes a thoughtful and collaborative approach to my company’s needs and the feedback from our team is overwhelmingly positive with every connection. Overall, it is clear that CultureSync provides its services to make a positive impact. If you work with CultureSync, you will never feel like you are just another client.
I think I learnt more about the team and myself in the two days with CultureSync than over the last 12-24 months. I feel a supportive difference amongst the team and a level of honesty I don’t think we’ve had before.
The people on my team have emerged as stronger leaders thanks to their work with CultureSync.
