What we do...IDEAS

The IDEAS method focuses on the following areas:

I - Identity

D - Discovery/Discussion

E - Empathy/Engagement

A- Awareness/Advocacy

S - Synergy/Solidarity

How can we help your organization?

We help uncover the identities of people within your organization to better connect and foster empathy, ultimately leading to communities where it is safe to be authentic and vulnerable. IDEAS gives people the opportunity to learn about others' truths while combatting biases. And with deliberate, constant and sustained effort from all stakeholders, it can help individuals grow together and strengthen communities.

Identity

Uncover and reveal identities of self and other community members to forge stronger connections through self-awareness, humility, and genuine curiosity.

Discovery/Discussion

Learn about the history and cultural backgrounds of others to better understand who they are and what has shaped them leading to deeper, more meaningful conversations.

Awareness/Advocacy

Dig deeper into identities - yours and others - while understanding how privileges connected to certain identities can create and support an allyship culture.

Empathy/Engagement

Foster ongoing conversations and grow meaningful connections through developing empathy.

Synergy/Solidarity

Synergy and solidarity are the forces that unite people from all backgrounds and form the foundation for spaces of true belonging, created with and for everyone. The goal is to nurture a culture where identities are shared and honored with grace, empathy, and curiosity, building collective strength through connection
