Last month, The Adaway Group turned fifteen! I never expected to start a consulting firm. I thought I would work for a company my entire career but I became so incredibly disillusioned and disappointed with the leadership at my organization that I couldn’t take it one more day –I quit. No safety net. A single mother with two kids in college, driven by the knowing that there had to be better ways of working.

Since then, through all the chapters of The Adaway Group I’ve supported individuals, teams, leaders, and boards who also believed: there have to be better, more liberatory ways to work.

And after fifteen years, I can tell you with absolute certainty: traditional business and leadership models weren’t built for these times, or for what’s coming.

We need leaders who can create stability in times of upheaval, embody equity, and lead with imagination and integrity. We need organizations that center our humanity and well-being. To accomplish this folks need new skills, new language, and spaces to practice.

Which is why we’re starting a new venture, and I want y’all at my side!

It’s called Together at Work!

This is the evolution of Whiteness at Work, the training program Jessica Fish and I first launched back in 2018. (You can read more about the shift here).

What I am most excited about is that we’re going to double down on what we love most: training.

The best way I know to help folks hold a bigger vision, to imagine possibilities beyond the dire realities of this moment, is to gather in a room, teach people new skills, model new ways, and create the energy to do it, together.

This fall, we’re launching our new public offerings under the Together at Work name and we’d love for you to join us at our first free training.
