Racial-Intersectional Equity Coaching Certification

As the demand for equity within organizations increases, we devised a unique solution to equip organizations and their external advisors with a system to implement equitable practices and policies in their work. We are pleased to introduce a coaching certification to allow experienced non profit professionals and consultants to add to their existing skillsbase. The RISE Coaching Certification program is a three-week certification that focuses on the RISE approach to coaching leaders toward equity change and organizational management. Upon successful completion of certification program leaders will:

  • Advance your knowledge of equity gaps that exist in the non-profit ecosystem
  • Expand your ability to coach organizational leadership towards operationalizing and actualizing equity work.
  • Enhance your facilitation skills to support decision-making and change management that guides leaders towards results.
  • Obtain a one year license to coach leaders utilizing the RISE coaching model.
