PROBLEM: Talking about race in America can be hard for most people. But it doesn't have to be. Nor should it be. If adults are ill-equipped to competently, confidently and truthfully discuss chronic systemic racial conditions in our society, they most assuredly cannot teach children accurate facts and holistic truth about the society we all inherited. Sadly, many children then grow to become adults with huge blind spots, ignorance and lack of empathy and understanding about the adverse impact of laws, systems, public policies and private sector practices upon generations of targeted Americans.
CHALLENGE: Unfortunately, our most trusted institutions (schools, colleges, churches, media and governments) have failed to equip the majority of generations of Americans with much-needed knowledge, empathetic understanding and empowering capacity to redesign, reform and reconstruct the society we all inherited to be one that we're all collectively proud to pass on to future generations as a 21st century multiracial, multicultural equitable and inclusive America. Every generation has an opportunity to disrupt this systemic cycle. The question we must answer is: do we have the will?
OPPORTUNITY: To empower Americans to become well-informed empathetic societal change agents, from teens and young adults to career professionals, business owners, industry leaders, policymakers and seasoned citizens, CGC has introduced into the landscape of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming and training our unique "Conversations Journey" process.
SOLUTION: CGC's Conversations Journey immerses participants in an experience of collective learning and discovery about today's American society perceived anew through a lens of historical context. Our focus is on understanding how laws, systems, public policies and private sector practices across all sectors of society were established and have evolved over 26 generations.
BENEFITS: Our Conversations Journey develops among diverse groups a common ground of paradigm-shifting new knowledge and understanding that better prepares participants to successfully navigate challenges and capitalize upon opportunities inherent in DEI racial equity programs, antiracist workshops and racial equity training. Unfortunately, this fragmented landscape of programs produces mixed, disparate and unsustainable results for companies, institutions and organizations. We can help increase success rates by preparing participants with a new lens and empathetic awareness about the current conditions of race in America and the opportunity we all have to sustain or change those conditions.
PROVEN RESULTS: Our Conversations Journey has a proven track record of consistent outcomes over the past two years with institutional clients: White evangelical churches, K-12 schools, higher education institutions, municipalities, police departments, community nonprofits and other groups.
