Now Imagine a Resolution System That Works ​for All,
Employee and Administration. A NEW NORMAL.
As an advocate of equity and fairness, you've likely experienced outdated systems that are simply not prepared for emerging standards of workplace justice.
​
You want to change these inherited systems, but the process is daunting and full of uncertainty. You could make a mistake and there are consequences. 
You don't know where to begin. 

​And if you do begin, you're not certain your efforts would be well-informed or well-received.
There's matters of organizational liability and public brand and image...
Maybe there are unions involved...
Breathe.
Remember the good news: You're not alone.
​​
We're here to help.

Five Hours, Two Days:
​What You Will Learn And Why It's Free.
Yup, Free.

You Know What You Need. We Welcome All.

WORD TO CONSULTANTS: Registering for June 18 and June 23 is required. Recordings are available!

June 17, Day One: GROUNDING

THE WHY: We familiarize ourselves with the root system of the status quo. This first day is helpful for those seeking to put words and research-based contextual meaning to lived experience.
​Stay in tune as we announce guest presenters! (Past: Dr. Nicole DeKay, Christina Taylor, MA)
 Status Quo Root System
We look to community to share definitions, context, and research for learners of all experiences. 
​​Legal Considerations​
We define liability and consider punitive vs restorative remedies in realistic settings.
Financial Considerations
We examine ​actual costs of conflict and potential areas for budgetary considerations.

June 18, Day Two: GENERATING

THE HOW: We translate what we know instinctively and experientially into viable systems that reflect our guiding lights and continue our learning with real world application and practice.
Systems Check
Non-intrusively evaluate your status quo to invite growth. We share several tools to carry with you.
What Makes it Work
We share how we, those most affected, define success with our guiding lights.
​THE NEW NORMAL
We share a community created, equitable resolution system and practice case studies.

WHY IT'S FREE.

​All participants and consultants deserve a sales-free, pressure-free learning space.
It's The Right Thing To Do.

The Equitable Resolution System came from the innovation and compassion of the community, and there it belongs to be continually co-created.
​
We openly practice a new economy, one based on generosity and true quality value.
Open Doors For Community.

​An organization's ability to pay for our services should not constrain their seeking knowledge, especially as this belongs to community.
​
We provide all participants the tools to begin the journey, regardless of ability to contract our services.
Respect People's Time & Money.

Overall, our process doesn't vary because it's proven. Why repeat ourselves and make you pay for it?

​We enjoy educated clients who on day one understand our work ethic, are familiar with processes, and know what to expect.

How Do I Know This Is For Me?
Am I Ready For This? Yes You Are, Here's Why.

This learning space is OFFERED AS A GIFT to anyone who could benefit.

Because demand outpaces available space, to ensure a meaningful experience we do ask that you register in advance. Not able to attend in full? Recordings are available!

We found that those benefit the most from Day One are those seeking definition to lived experiences. Day Two serves those who have access to organizational systems such as Executive Directors, Human Resources, DEIB Officers.

An now, we offer Day Three that speaks to our community of third party mediators, and independent consultants as we introduce avenues of collaboration.
​
