Have you ever thought to yourself...
I love my work, but I’m feeling burned out.
How can we bring more equity to our work?
There is so much red tape. It takes forever to get anything done.
I can’t seem to get buy-in on an idea or program. I keep hitting roadblocks at every turn.
We’re all working hard, but I’m not sure if we’re seeing the right results.
We’re working in silos. Our efforts feel scattered and lack the unity to create real change.
