DBFI Coaching

Disrupt Bias, Foster Inclusion

THE MISSING LINK TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION + BELONGING EFFORTS

"If you feel safe in the area that you are working in, you are not working in the right area.

Always go a little further into the water than you feel you are capable of being. Go a little out of your depth and when you dont feel that your feet are touching the bottom, you are just about in the right place to do something exciting.”

– DAVID BOWIE

DBFI Defined – Disrupt Bias + Foster Inclusion

 

DBFI is an immersive, confidential, and safe space for senior leaders to engage in necessary conversations and receive the required education to move the needle on sustainable DEIB initiatives. Culture Shift Agency coaches possess a unique combination of ability and expertise to support senior leaders as they navigate organizational diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging challenges.

We provide a platform for leaders to ask questions, express biases, and discuss habitual working patterns for constructive exploration. We operate under the guiding principle of honoring the dignity of each individual in the program.

What’s the problem?

A common challenge exists in organizations trying to implement initiatives to support inclusion and belonging:  Senior leaders have been asked and tasked to DO different, without BEING different. As a society we have not been taught to engage in topics and conversations that make us uncomfortable… especially if we are over-achievers who know how to get things done.

DBFI™ was born out of the need to raise the critical consciousness of senior leaders and their teams with the goal of successfully creating truly equitable, inclusive, and innovative workplaces.

DBFI is a safe and confidential space for leaders to engage in necessary conversations and receive the required education to move the needle on sustainable DEI initiatives.
DBFI is successful, because it works across the firm and down. The Cohorts intentionally cross silos to include senior executives, and also work down verticals with intact teams. Why is this important? To work within the natural connection points within teams for program effectiveness.
There is a cultural gap in recognizing and discussing DEI issues.
Senior leaders must be fully supportive of DEI initiatives for successful integration throughout the company.
