Unlocking Potential through DBFI Coaching for Inclusive Workplaces

“...a liberatory consciousness enables humans to live outside the patterns of thought and behavior learned through the socialization process that helps to perpetuate oppressive systems.”

About DBFI

Our immersive coaching and workshop program is a hybrid of curriculum of individual coaching and group coaching. It’s designed to support leaders cultivate consciousness. Because personal growth and organizational development are inextricably linked, we intentionally focus on the individual, which inturn deeply impacts the organization.

What Sets DBFI Coaching Apart

We’re just different. Our coaching house consists of unicorns who sit at the intersection of experience and efficiency. We understand that every organization is unique, and our program is customized to address your specific needs and challenges. Our secret power is the ability to move from assessment to excavation, to deepen understanding prior to action.

The Structure

DBFI takes participants through three distinct phases that are rooted in the idea that the path to inclusivity in the workplace begins when leaders deepen their awareness of self, the systems in which they operate, and begin to understand how each can serve as a bridge, or barrier, to real and sustainable inclusivity.

Hear From Our Clients

If you are ready to do the work, answer the hard questions, be open to think and work differently and change your business and life for the better then you are in the right place. There is no way I would have thrived in 2020 when the Pandemic is devastating small businesses without the foundations, rituals and support of Marla.

Marla has been a reservoir of care and strength guiding me on this path of leadership and discovery.

Marla has encouraged me to lean confidently on the powerful shoulders of my sisters, foremothers, and ancestors, instead of fearfully walking alone. What I know for sure is Marla’s holistic teachings are the touchstone upon which so many black women will be empowered to create embodied ways to live, love, and lead.

“Transformation is a process, not an event.”
