When I first met with Monica and her team, we set out several clear goals for our work together, including helping us with our hiring processes to be more demographically diverse, creating an organizational DEI statement and preparing a style guide or lexicon that will guide all of our communications in culturally sensitive and appropriate ways.
As a staff of fairly progressive and socially-aware individuals, The Almond Group was still able to refine and tailor their trainings, exercises and concepts to make us keenly aware of the structural/systemic problems we are confronting, as well as our own individual, often hidden biases.
