CULTURE CHANGE CAPACITY BUILDING
Organizations that are intentional about creating a culture of equity and inclusion–in other words, where everyone has equal opportunity and access to resources so they can thrive–most often, have higher employee engagement, productivity, return on investment, employee recruitment and retention, and more. We work diligently with leadership and key stakeholders in order to assist our clients with achieving pragmatic yet aspirational goals within their organization’s complex cultural context.
We are skilled in the areas of interpersonal relationship-building, strategic planning, culture mapping and cultural assessments. We use a combination of proven strategies, methods, and models along with client input to create the most effective and measurable plan for our clients. Our approach allows diversity of thought to be instrumental in providing inclusive, equitable solutions for maximum outcomes.
GROUP PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We specialize in facilitating unique individual growth experiences that strengthen a group’s ability to be comfortable with being uncomfortable in those moments when leading culture change is most difficult. We offer a range of evidence-based, best practice-informed, and customizable programs for all levels of experience within an organization.
In a rapidly changing cultural climate, often people can face difficultly just initially addressing complex social issues that impact their organization. OEC’s team creates spaces that foster courageous, meaningful interactions between people so they can do more than just lean in, but actually embrace challenging issues together in a civil, productive way. These individual development experiences are instrumental in overcoming barriers to inclusive and equitable cultures. We also assist clients to implement innovative initiatives that allow individuals to engage in culturally humble interactions while learning about and celebrating the various dimensions of culture and identity–such as gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability status, just to name a few–that make up the various communities in which they live, work, play, and visit.
INDIVIDUAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING & COACHING
We are skilled in providing clients customized tools to lead culture change and expand the organizations’ capacity for growth. Both our Culture Change Facilitator Training and one-on-one coaching experience equip existing and emerging leaders with the skills and confidence to proactively facilitate inclusive and equitable change within their organizations and community through fostering self-awareness, interpersonal communication, cultural responsiveness, and systems thinking.
