Thanks for joining us here. We are grateful for you and look forward to disrupting inequity and building bridges with you.
Bridging the Gap: DEI for Overloaded People Leaders & Executives
Updates on our adventures.
Where has Dee been lately? I spent early 2024 in a small town in the Barcelona area, resting and exploring with family and friends. A highlight was seeing the Black Madonna of Monserrat. I was reminded daily of the joy...and challenges...of traveling internationally, practicing my limited Spanish skills, relishing the beauty of nature, and appreciating the joy of connectedness. I seriously unplugged.
What type of work is L3 Catalyst Group doing currently? At L3 Catalyst Group we apply anti-oppression frameworks alongside process consulting. As 2024 launches, here are a few examples of what we've got going: facilitating retreats to grow healthy teams, developing executive board strategy, facilitating equitable organizational culture strategy and application, supporting executive leadership transitions, and developing liberatory learning and application series. Goodness, I'm grateful for trusting relationships with brilliant clients and co-consultants.
Where are L3 Catalyst Group clients located? Currently, most of our clients are located between Chicago, IL and Baltimore, MD, USA. We've worked with clients worldwide, and look forward to continued global connections with brave leaders working for liberation.
Who is the "we" in L3 Catalyst Group? More than 60% of our client engagements include co-consulting with other BIPoC and/or queer consultants. This brings synergy, and energy, and facilitates creativity. We co-create the scope of work together with clients, flexibly supporting client goals by creating the consultant team that the client most needs. It's a blast.
Do you coach leaders? Yes! Equity-focused individual and group coaching brings me so much JOY. Let me know if you'd like to chat about this. I also LOVE referring people to other coaches or consultants to help you find the right fit.
Here's to 2024, y'all. Let's connect to co-facilitate, co-consult, or think together to dream up and facilitate spaces of liberation in ourselves and together. May you be energized and rested for the journey.
Peace and justice,
Dee
