Basic competency in Equity Sequence™️ can be achieved in 2 hours or less, can be practiced as an individual or team, and is done at your own pace.

Everybody wants to do their best work. We help them maximize impact.

Success Stories
-
Michelle Dulmadge I think the questions are excellent!
"I am in awe of how intuitive the Equity Sequence™️ questions are. They seem to get immediately to the heart of equity and equality. They feel like we should have always known them but have probably never used them. I think people go about 'fixing' bias after it happens instead of considering equity and equality prior to rolling out a policy/process, etc."
-
Danielle Ferguson-Shivrattan It can be used by anyone!
"The Equity Sequence™️ is a practical tool that can be used across the entire organization. Staff from any level, any department, and any project can easily utilize the Equity Sequence™️ to ensure we are being as fair and transparent as possible."
-
Bruce MacDonald I can translate intention into action!
"We often talk about wanting to do things in a particular way, but the realities of busy work kick in and we simply replicate our previous patterns. With the Equity Sequence™️, we can translate that intention into real change by applying the questions in a thoughtful way. The impact of this will be long-term and widespread."
-
Nadia Al-Amir We can tap into new opportunities!
"By asking the Equity Sequence™️ questions, we can tap so many more opportunities and possibilities for ourselves and our clients. We're missing out on so much when we rely too heavily on our existing ways."
