A Culture & Belonging
Company for the Modern Age
It’s time to look at Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion differently. We make organizations better by making people better.
Koi Collective specializes in driving impact and creating spaces and places of belonging through unique programming:
Reinforcing
Active Listening
Listening is aligned with an individual or organization’s ability to thoughtfully attend to what they are hearing and their willingness to consider the information received.
Increasing Empathy
& Understanding
Understanding only comes from asking probing questions and being open to finding the “why” behind people’s belief systems and behaviors/actions, even if this understanding leads to potential discomfort.
Enhancing Emotional
Connectivity
Getting people to sacrifice individual needs for the betterment of others requires deep levels of emotional connection and is essential for sustainable action and driving cultural change.
Inspiring Intentional
& Unapologetic Action
Actions must be calculated, coordinated, rooted in clear strategy, and tied to specific objectives that can be measured and felt in real time.
Teaching to Assess
& Adjust Actions
Regularly assessing the impact of actions and having the willingness to adjust, if necessary, is critically important and requires intentionality, support, and vision.
Teams We’ve Helped:
Our Behavior Changing Development Programming Works.
Koi Collective uses a proven 90-minute small group workshop structure that is founded on providing a safe environment for participants and the creation of high levels of collaboration and insights sharing.
All Employee Programming
Because culture is created from the top, reinforced in the middle, and lived on the ground, it is important for executive leaders to be self-aware and completely aligned with their teams.
Executive Leadership
Diversity and culture work has traditionally focused on the development of underrepresented individuals. Koi Collective believes the true power of diversity is exercised when managers understand themselves and how to best tap into and support each member of their team.
People Managers
Many development programs tailored to underrepresented participants are designed in ways that indirectly imply that these employees are lacking the skills necessary to be successful.
All Koi Collective programming is designed around the principle that hearts and minds are only changed when “who” a person is aligns with “what” they are asked to do.
