Explore Our Collaborative Offerings

Tell us what you’re navigating. We’ll co-design the container.

Shifting Power Collaborative supports social justice organizations through facilitation, training, conflict repair, organizational learning, sense-making, strategy, and practice-building. Our offerings are areas of work in which we might use any of the previous supports or a combination of them. They are starting points for collaboration.

What You Might Be Navigating

Organizations often reach out because something needs care, clarity, structure, repair, alignment, or movement. We listen for what is happening beneath the initial request and work with you to co-design support that fits your context, capacity, values, and people.

Organizations may reach out when they are navigating:

  • conflict, feedback breakdowns, or strained trust

  • leadership transition, restructuring, or role confusion

  • burnout, overwhelm, or team disconnection

  • values/practice gaps around equity, justice, and accountability

  • supervision, management, or decision-making challenges

  • remote or hybrid work disconnection

  • racial justice, Pro-Black culture alignment, or shared power questions

  • survey results, staff feedback, or organizational learning that needs sensemaking

Our Areas of Collaboration

  • Workshops, trainings, and learning series that help teams build shared language, shared practice, and practical skills.

    Examples may include conflict and feedback practice, power-aware supervision, psychological safety, facilitation, shared decision-making, accountability and care, leadership through change, and values-to-practice learning. We can develop custom content for specific collaboration needs as well.

  • Designed spaces for teams, boards, coalitions, and leadership groups to make meaning, build alignment, navigate tension, and move decisions or relationships forward.

    This may include retreats, courageous conversations, team alignment spaces, decision-making sessions, role clarity conversations, and coalition strategy.

  • Support for people and teams navigating tension, hurt, harm, feedback breakdowns, trust strain, or conflict that needs a clearer container.

    This may include mediation, conflict coaching, repair conversations, preparation for courageous conversations, accountability practice, or designing healthier conflict and feedback norms.

  • Support for gathering, interpreting, and making meaning from what people are experiencing across the organization.

    This may include surveys, interviews, listening sessions, document review, culture assessments, feedback synthesis, sensemaking sessions, and translating findings into action.

    We can also partner with you to design organizational learning instruments (employee engagement surveys, listening session guides, feedback tools) and align them with the frameworks you want to practice—such as adaptive approaches, change and transition, Critical Race Theory, margin-to-center (and other Black Feminist methodologies), or psychological safety.

  • Support for organizations trying to align values, practices, structures, roles, and decisions.

    This may include values-to-practice facilitation, organizational structure sensemaking, supervision and accountability systems, leadership transition support, shared power practices, staffing or compensation decision support, and culture strategy.
