“it’s not enough just to think, talk, and feel better
toward those negatively impacted by the way things are,
we must do better.”

~melvin bray, collabyrinth

 

engagement with collabyrinth is all about what you, as a change-maker, are seeking to accomplish. whether you are…

  • a foundation needing to collaboratively design and facilitate a retreat that strengthens the organization’s or key programs’ effectiveness.
  • a healthcare organization envisioning a powerful, shared future of greater impact and wanting to articulate not just top-level guidance for getting there, but a soup-to-nuts plan with practical strategies for achieving goals.
  • a public trust or government agency desiring to use applied research to create program evaluation tools that assess the effectiveness of your investments.
  • social impact corporation hoping to deepen their abilities to leverage racial/ethnic diversity and social differences into increased team performance and more vibrant working conditions.
  • a faith-based nonprofit coalition seeking to leverage the power of executive and team coaching to enhance leadership effectiveness.

to that end, we can design potential solutions to challenges for you; or we can offer advisory to help your leadership team navigate challenges adeptly; or more preferably, we can provide facilitation for you and the stakeholders most impacted by the outcomes of your decisions to figure out challenges together. equally as important, we can help your team, organization, or community with strategy to incorporate into all your dealings what you figured out together. these are our 4 areas of service.

collabyrinth‘s services are customized to meet a your needs. aside from fixed-rate advisory hours, a la carte trainings, and engagement with various UnLearn InEquity curriculum pieces, fees for services are calculated by the project on a sliding scale, based on client profile, desired impact, and the assets required to achieve that impact.
