Our Services
At Mending the Chasm, we meet people where they are and take them where they need to go. With over 50 years of combined experience in anti-racism, anti-Black racism, social justice, and equity leadership on our team, we specialize in partnering with organizational leadership, groups and teams to grow their capacity to appreciate the value of and to create cultures that are equitable and anti-racist.
We offer the following services:
Inclusion Advisory Services
We understand that some of our clients do not have the current capacity to hire an in-house Chief Inclusion Officer. Here’s where we come in!
Our monthly retainer option gives you access to a dedicated set of hours each month, to address key issues pertaining to inclusion, equity & anti-racism culture change and practice.
You can also purchase a block of hours to be used at your discretion and based on our availability.
Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey, mid-way through a culture change process, or whether you’ve just concluded a culture change process and looking for ongoing support to keep your team focused and accountable to strategic inclusion, equity and anti-racism metrics, we have the skills, expertise, and experience to ensure you’re successful in achieving your inclusion goals.

Inclusion Coaching
Inclusion Coaching is an integral part of any culture transformation. We work with leaders organizations, to help them do the deep reflective work required to examine and transform unconscious biases, make conscious choices to become more inclusive, build cultural competency, and become empowered enough to take courageous actions to make their organizations more equitable.
We offer individual and group coaching focused on building a deeper inclusion capacity and lens. We offer a range of packages so reach out and reference Inclusion Coaching if you’re looking to build a more inclusive workplace.
Conflict Transformation Coaching
Conflict remains one of the top five fears for many and yet is a guaranteed experience at work at some point, especially where passionate leaders have differing views or approaches. Conflict Transformation Coaching is a one-on-one confidential experience designed to support leaders to address workplace conflict so that it has a positive outcome. Working in partnership, we help individuals identify and develop new practical skills to resolve conflict, and to build more inclusive approaches to dealing with disputes that preserve relationships.
Equitable Culture Audit with Recommendations
An Equitable Culture Audit / Needs Assessment consists of gathering data from a variety of sources, using methodologies relevant to your organization’s culture, structure, and population.
We use focus groups, online surveys, individual interviews, reviews of policies and procedures, and other qualitative & quantitative research techniques in our audit process.
Our team at Mending the Chasm works with your organization to design a custom process that will provide a baseline of understanding of how inclusive your policies, practices, and workplace culture are. We analyze the findings, identify key gaps, and provide recommendations to your organization as a part of this offering.
