TRANSFORM both self and systems, and
LEAD courageously to create more inclusive schools, organizations,

and communities where there is an experience of belonging and equitable outcomes.

Course Overview

We're living in a time where we can no longer show up to LEAD without doing our own work, where change requires us to dig deeper and BE different to LEAD different. Leaders are striving to be more effective and impactful - and are struggling. Emotions and conditioning get in the way. Lack of vulnerability, compassion, and fear get in the way. To sustain in this work requires Emotionally Intelligent Equity & Inclusion™. This work requires courageous leadership development. COURAGE. IS. THE. CURE.

If you are a new - or established- leader in a school or organization,
if you are designated DEIB professional,
if you are a facilitator or coach growing into the DEIB space,
then this certification is for YOU.

(And if not YOU, then who might you share this with in your district or organization?)

After more than 30 years of facilitation and leadership experience, it is more than evident to me that there is an “order of operations” designed to support the transformational journey and leadership know-how that results in more inclusive practice. Our schools, organizations, and communities deserve to be more effective in terms of equity and belonging.

The Courage is the Cure™ certification program is rooted in my signature approach of emotionally intelligent equity and inclusion leadership development. I use my own framework, as well as componentes of privatized curriculum from best in class leaders and organizations. The certification has a balanced interplay of racial healing work for SELf-transformation along with courageous leadership competencies for systemic-transformation.

Courage is the Cure™ provides a systems-level approach integrating three key areas to BE an inclusive leader:

Racial Healing work - both experiential exploration and facilitation support
Transformational professional learning toward embodiment of courageous leadership
EI2: Emotionally-intelligent equity and inclusions facilitation and communication competencies for effective DEIB work

(Above, add EI logo)

DESCRIPTION of WORK:

Through this intensive program, participants will practice within the three thematic areas of racial healing leadership:

HEAL: This theme invites us to engage in deep inner work to heal long-term patterns related to race and racism.
