The ei² Method:
Become an Emotionally
Intelligent Equity &
Inclusion™ Leader & Facilitator
ei²: Emotionally Intelligent Equity &
Inclusion™ Leadership & Facilitation Certification
This program is NOT your “same ol’ spin your wheels” process to DEIB work! This is an integrated, leadership-based approach that provides sustainable results FOR LASTING TRANSFORMATION (for both you AND your system/ organization).
​
Through this 10-month certification program, participants will HEAL through inner-work,
TRANSFORM both self and systems, and LEAD courageously to create more inclusive schools, organizations, and communities where belonging and equitable outcomes are the norm.
DATES: Sep. 2024 - June 2025 (see specific program dates below)
After more than 30 years of facilitation and leadership experience, it is more than evident to me that there is an “order of operations” designed to support the transformational journey and leadership know-how that
results in more inclusive practice so that our schools, organizations, and communities are more effective in terms of equity and belonging. I’ve spent decades in my life’s purpose to decode this signature LEADERSHIP PROCESS to create more equitable systems.
Through this intimate and intensive program,
20 leaders will grow within these thematic
areas for racial healing:
Heal
This theme invites us to engage in deep inner work to heal long-term patterns related to racism so that we can lead from a healed way-of-being instead of a wounded way-of-being
Transform
This theme forms the bridge between our personal healing and self-transformation to our ability to create collective healing and systemic
transformation.
Lead
This theme empowers us to skillfully facilitate EI² and racial healing - the work of humanity - with courage and compassion toward equity,connection, and belonging in our schools, organizations, and communities.
Transformation is one of the hardest things to “prove.” This program works - and here’s some of the “proof,” shared directly from leaders in the program…
The ei² Leadership & Facilitation Certification is rooted in my signature, alchemical approach of emotionally intelligent equity and inclusion leadership
development. Using my own proven proprietary framework, as well as a privatized curriculum from best in class leaders and organizations, the ei² Certification has a balanced interplay of racial healing work of SELf-transformation along with courageous
leadership competencies for school and systemic-transformation.
