We build inclusive innovation ecosystems through training, consulting, coaching, and events.
We are leaders in driving diversity and inclusion solutions globally and have worked with hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, startups, and venture capital firms over the years. We partner with clients as extensions of your team—working together to develop diverse, equitable, and inclusive teams, culture, processes, and products.
Ecosystem
Approach
Achieving true diversity, equity, and inclusion requires correcting systemic structural and cultural issues across the ecosystem. We focus on solutions and engage stakeholders across organizations and industries to drive foundational behavioral and organizational change.
Inclusion
for All
Technology, products, and services should be built by and for the diverse world we live in. We are an intersectionally diverse team that works with our clients to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion across all genders, races, ethnicities, LGBTQIA+, disabilities, ages, religions, regions, castes, and intersectionalities.
Our Client Work
Speaking
Our Change Catalyst founders have spoken on hundreds of stages globally. We speak at all-hands events, executive and leadership retreats, team offsites, industry conferences, and startup programs.
Learning & Development Programming
We design and develop custom educational programs that meet people where they are and facilitate behavior change over time across your organization.
Inclusive Events
We build radically inclusive events and help our clients do these same. Work with a team that created and hosted one of the most diverse and inclusive events in tech for six years across the globe.
Training
We design customized learning and development solutions that integrate with your current strategy and culture and meet people where they are to drive individual and organizational change. Some of our training topics include:
Allyship Training
Allyship vs Accomplice
Building Inclusive Teams
How to be an Ally
Leading With Empathy & Allyship for Executives
Inclusive Leadership Coaching
We work 1:1 with leaders to grow their inclusive leadership skills, understand and interrupt biases and microaggressions, better support their teams, and help drive diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Join us each week for deep, real conversations about how we can all be more inclusive leaders in our workplaces and communities on the Leading With Empathy & Allyship series. In intimate conversations with advocates, activists, and allies, host Melinda Briana Epler provides a safe space to learn, build empathy for each other, and understand tangible actions we can all take.
Icon Project programs create wellness and leadership development opportunities in the lives of Black and Brown men in tech. Our programs consist of a fellows program, community network, annual virtual summit, and a fund to access mental health and coaching opportunities through our partner network.
