Praxis

Utilizing a lens of anti-oppression, Praxis redefines group and organizational cultures so that people feel empowered to bring their full selves to the table. Praxis is committed to providing you with tools to implement immediate change, as well as support to identify and execute the long-term strategies that lead to true organizational transformation. Using an intersectional lens, our work supports teams of any size to work more effectively by creating space for dialogue and growth. Through facilitated conversations, workshops and tailored interventions, we help to foster environments that are inclusive of all employees, clients, patients, students, and community members. When people feel welcome to bring their true selves to the table, teams are more productive, innovation is encouraged, and businesses thrive. We are experienced working across myriad sectors, including corporate, nonprofit, medical, K-12 and higher education, and community-based organizations. Praxis's work is rooted in social justice and customized to your group’s unique goals, environment, and members. Collectively, our team brings many decades of experience in advocacy, training development and facilitation, and grassroots organizing to your project. We ground our work in the practice of cultural humility - striving always to engage with others “humbly, authentically, and from a place of learning” - rather than cultural competence. Our business centers queer people, trans and nonbinary people, Black people, Indigenous people, and all people of color (BIPOC), women, and femmes. Our team not only reflects these identities, but prioritizes intentional listening to and feedback from communities who are most impacted by homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism. Just as we encourage our clients to do the radical work of changing their team cultures, we too are invested in continuous growth.
