Why Choose Us?
It is imperative that we equip ourselves to navigate the turbulent and complex world we live in and understand race as the powerful social dynamic it is. A dynamic that affects our personal lives, workspaces, communities and nation as a whole. Our racial and cultural diversity can impact us in a positive or negative way – the choice is ours.
Our powerful Protocol enables participants to transition to that space where we genuinely see the intrinsic value of every human person. A space where we can finally live and work together in a way that enables all of us and our nation to excel, free from the division and fear that plagues us.
Much of the work around race, including the areas of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and the vast array of cultural capability frameworks and workshops available, focus on the theoretical aspects of race and racism, problem definition and evaluation, something external to ourselves.
In Courageous Conversation®, all participants come to understand their own racialised selves and the huge role that race plays in each of our lives. While Courageous Conversation® draws on contemporary race theory, its Protocol demands as the very first Condition, that practitioners establish a racial context that is personal, local and immediate.
In other words, participants’ stories must be drawn from their lived experience, from the micro as well as the macro spaces in their own lives. The Courageous Conversation® begins with each one of us, and it is from our knowledge of self that we transform the systems we are a part of, one conversation at a time. As such, it is both healing and transformational.
