Our capacity to thrive is impacted significantly by the systems in which we find ourselves. Humans are communal beings who are part of systems, whether we are impacted by the systems with no sense of control, or have some say in how the system runs. Unfortunately, more and more these days, we find ourselves navigating systems that advantage some people over others, some groups over others. Some systems are recent; other systems have been providing systematic advantage to people from some groups for generations. What is the path for creating more equitable systems that are still effective and productive?
While systems can seem overwhelmingly large and powerful, they all function through people making choices in every moment. Whether you have little power in the system (a cog in a wheel) or you have all the control over the system (the person turning the gears), you can find ways to influence the outcome of the system. We are committed to helping people examine the systems around them to identify the places where leverage can be applied to make change. Whether it’s speaking up to draw attention to the differential impact you notice, or engaging in needs assessment and strategic planning to create new, empathic, compassionate, and efficient systems, we can help you each step of the way.
