Experience CGC's Conversations Journey®

Achieve Your Goals with a Conversations® Journey

EMPATHY IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT

A valuable benefit of CGC’s Conversations Journey® process is an EDUCATION IN EMPATHY which exposes participants to paradigm-shifting new knowledge that helps them better understand the experiences of others in our society today through a lens of historical context. 


AMERICANS WANT FACTS, NOT FINGER-POINTING

Systemic racism is not something invented by anyone living today. We all collectively inherited the struggles of past generations. None of us created the conditions we all inherited from a 20th century of racialized segregationist laws, economic systems, public policies and private sector practices. CGC offers a no shame, no blame process of perceiving today's 21st century society through a lens of historical context. 


RACIAL EQUITY STARTS WITH RACE, BUT THE DESTINATION IS EQUITABLE OWNERSHIP

Equity = Ownership. If we are to fairly and justly assess present-day conditions of racial equity and trends with empirical data to compare with past conditions, it is imperative that we have sufficient knowledge of the past conditions (of ownership) to which we can compare present-day metrics. This process can help us better understand both the challenges and opportunities we face in changing or sustaining laws, systems, public policies and private sector practices future generations will inherit.


CGC CAN HELP PRODUCE PRODUCTIVE DIALOGUE ON RACE, RELIGION & POLITICS

We have an ongoing five-year track record of success with municipal government leaders, police departments, K-12 schools, higher education, churches, healthcare organizations and community nonprofits. CGC empowers groups to break through polarized divisions and build a common ground of knowledge and understanding of today's racialized society through a lens of historical context.

NEW! CGC FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS

We're now offering Common Ground Conversations to small groups!

Across America, families and friendship circles are being impacted by the volatility of racialized political and religious dynamics in our society. 


The Trump administration has overtly targeted Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), racial equity and anything determined to be associated with "wokeism" or perceived to disparage the historical narrative of the United States and its founding fathers. A majority of White Americans supported the current administration through three consecutive presidential elections. The result? Extreme division along the fault lines of race, politics and religion. We can help.


CGC can help families and friends find common ground in these polarizing times. Our trademarked Conversations Journey process is now being offered online to any assembled group of 5-15.


Group Size: 5-7 ($499)

Group Size 8-15 ($899)


Five easy steps:

1. Obtain commitments from your group to participate online in a 4-hour Conversations Journey

WHAT IS THE CGC CONVERSATIONS JOURNEY® PROCESS?

PROBLEM: Talking about race in America can be hard for most people. But it doesn't have to be. Nor should it be. When adults are equipped to competently, confidently and truthfully discuss chronic systemic racial conditions in our society, they can effectively teach children accurate facts and holistic truth about the society we all inherited. Sadly, many uninformed and ill-informed children grow to become uninformed and ill-informed adults in our society 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: Too many of our most trusted institutions (schools, colleges, churches, media and governments) have not been equipped to effectively educate the majority of generations of Americans with much-needed knowledge, empathetic understanding and empowering capacity to take responsibility for the society we inherited. Each generation must decide whether to sustain the status quo or redesign, reform and reconstruct our society to be an environment that we're all collectively proud to pass on to future generations as a 21st century multiracial, multicultural equitable and Inclusive America. 


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 arena of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) unique programming and training through our trademarked "Conversations Journey®" process. 


SOLUTION: CGC's Conversations Journey® immerses participants in no-blame, no-shame co-learning small-group environment. Participants experience interactive 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.

WHAT CGC IS NOT

Our Conversations Journey® is NOT...:


  • Critical Race Theory studies
  • Antiracist Training
  • Substitute for Racial Equity Training
  • Replacement for DEI Training


CGC does not compete with the above listed programs and training. Instead, we complement them. These types of educational programs and training processes can benefit from increased active engagement of participants that have experienced our Conversations Journey®. 


Our Conversations Journey® is also NOT:


  • A forum designed for exhaustive sharing of personal experiences, lamentation and venting


  • A forum designed for hostile personal accusations


  • A forum designed for correcting others' personal behaviors
