Consulting — Waking the unConscious

**The Journey to Anti-Racism Starts with WtC**

We meet your organization where you are on your journey to anti-racism and co-create a plan that is inspirational, achievable, and measurable.

Consulting Services

We offer comprehensive services that are customized to you in order to help you understand the experiences of those that have been historically excluded at your organization. We will help you unlearn, dismantle, reimagine, and create a new workplace that is inclusionary and allows everyone to thrive.

Organizational Audit & Evaluation

We assess your organization to get a better understanding of the behaviours, actions, and language surrounding anti-racism as well as the integration of anti-racist practices within your policies, procedures, systems, and culture. Our assessment is used in conjunction with our own proprietary tools to evaluate your organization to celebrate successes and identify targeted intervention areas.

Facilitated Workshop Sessions

We facilitate workshop sessions that will help your leadership and staff develop their understanding on various topics such as anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, 2SLGBTQIA+, and disability, as well as the intersectional component of these identities. These interactive sessions will push participants out of their comfort zones as they do the deep, introspective work and begin to understand the harm they are causing by maintaining the status quo.

Implementation Support

We support your organization as you create new practices, policies, systems, and a culture that is inclusive of all people. We lend different perspectives to help you understand the impact of choices made and to prevent unintentional exclusion. We assess the impact of changes made to ensure that meaningful progress is occurring. As your organization grows, we help identify additional training needs and provide necessary support.

WtC’s approach to anti-racism training involves education, introspection, and open dialogue between those with power and those without.

By providing a brave space for the intentionally ignored to share their often painful work and life experiences, allies can begin to better recognize their place of privilege. They can discover how their position can be leveraged to close inequality gaps within the system and can transform themselves by taking ownership of their own behaviours and actions. This will allow for new level of understanding to guide them in creating meaningful opportunities for those who have historically been kept out of the loop.

“To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We fail when we fail to try.”

- Rosa Parks

Your Organization’s Journey to Anti-Racism

While our involvement is unique to every organization, below is an outline of the typical process that organizations experience through working with WtC:

1 |

Self-Discovery

“It starts with me”

We create a safe space for team members and take them on a journey of self-discovery and deep empathy through facilitated anti-racism workshops. We assess your organization to celebrate what is working and identify opportunities and areas that need to be improved upon.

2 |

Deep Dive

“It continues with us”

We build on the work already done and dive deeper into the various facets of your organization. We connect with leaders and employees at all levels and in different positions to get a true understanding of the unique experiences in order to create a Go Forward Plan.

3 |

Execute

Start, stop, continue

We celebrate the work already done but acknowledge the need for ongoing training in an ever-changing world. We provide additional training for identified areas of need, periodically reassess your organization to ensure real change is being achieved, and support you as you implement changes.
