OUR STORYA Crew Of Culture-Obsessed, Change-Driven Humans Cultivating A New Channel for Connection
Our methodology is rigorous yet heart-centered when stepping into our working partnerships.
While statistics, like the 19% revenue increase from diverse teams (Boston Consulting Group), underscore the business case for change, the human experiences behind these numbers drive us. Employees thriving in inclusive environments report a staggering 50% drop in turnover intentions (Mental Health America). So, beyond numbers, envision individuals connecting, evolving, and thriving. That's the future we see as a result of culture transformations.
Change isn't a linear process. There are cycles of enthusiasm, frustration, abandonment, and then recommitment. We're here to ensure that organizations and individuals don't just cycle through but evolve, leaving behind perfectionism, binary thinking, and urgency.

Our Values
Courageous Creativity
We champion originality and bold ideas, and seek to break new ground through every experiment of process.
Heartfelt Connection
We are rooted in authentic, compassionate engagement, building deeper understanding across difference and building bridges through crisis and conflict.
Collective Brilliance
We actively celebrate the power of collective thinking and action, as more powerful than any individual solution.
Unwavering Integrity
Practicing clarity and honesty especially in the most challenging of situations is nonnegotiable. We are clear in our mandate to let transparency guide every interaction and decision.
Intentional Inclusivity
Creating environments where diverse experiences are integral to shaping outcomes and driving change is the foundation of our practice.
Curiosity & Adaptability
We embrace change as an opportunity for growth, and we let curiosity lead every inquiry allowing for constant adaption and reflection.
ACTION
Beyond Training, It’s Transformation
Standardized training often misses the mark. Customized learning enables teams to connect deeply, ensuring genuine growth and accountability. This is what we do; we invent, craft, and curate an approach as unique as your organization.
BELIEF
Leaders Thrive On Growth & Actionable Insight
At Culture Change Lab, we firmly believe that leaders (and we lead through action, not title!) are the driving force behind executing the mission and making values central to decision-making. They not only shape the direction of their teams but also influence the entire company culture. With this understanding, we prioritize leadership and recognize the ripple effect their approach has on their teams and the organization as a whole.
ETHOS
Organizational Shifts are Essential
No one wins when organizational culture and established norms clash with worker needs. Lasting change means weaving equity, justice, and a sense of belonging into every layer of an organization. Don’t wait until a crisis to catch up to social change.
Humanity at the Heart of Transformation
Change, in its truest form, is a profoundly human endeavor. We acknowledge the wounds of historical prejudices and systemic oppressions, offering solutions and pathways to healing. Through bespoke engagements and communal sessions, our Healing & Accountability services blend anti-racism tenets, somatic practices, and an indefatigable commitment to fostering personal and institutional growth. We champion a transformative journey that is as much about individual work as it is about collective work.
We can work in bite-sized engagements to long-term collaboration on a central challenge. This might look like facilitating hard conversations, advising on major announcements, responding to calls for accountability, mediation, somatic and healing workshops, or building affinity spaces and public town halls.
Strategic Vision with Authenticity
At Culture Change Lab, our strategy is more than just a roadmap. We believe in working together and using our experience in collaboration to create intentional and inclusive plans. We cater to various groups, from grassroots movements to larger coalitions. Our strategies are informed and deeply understand the importance of race, power, and the interconnectedness of planning, values, and storytelling.
In addition to our culture-shift process, we also collaborate on plans more intentionally. We help build the plan by facilitating work circles and teams and guiding the process from idea to draft. We provide advice on how to gain support and investment from staff, leadership, the board, and the community. We can also assist with implementation, whether creating strategic and adaptive plans, anti-racism plans, roadmaps, Business Cases for Change, or Values Work. Our approach is anything but traditional!
