It needs to be said …. because silence has meaning

Our leadership team gathered under the umbrella of “PeopleDynamics Learning Group” declare the following:

Black Lives Matter. Our shared humanity and our future depends on us fostering a lived experience of interconnectedness based in equality and inclusion, so at this juncture in history it is important to say specifically that Black Lives Matter, as an acknowledgement of the impact of systemic racism on the Black community.

We are committing to be an active ally in the quest to dismantle systemic racism and to promote equality, inclusion, and deep respect for the Black community. We accept that there are many different ways to act as an ally in this quest, and we will continue to be in conversation with one another and the community to discern what actions might serve best.

As an organization with special expertise in the art of conversation – one-on-one and in teams/groups – we are committed to finding ways to deploy this expertise in ways that can help us collectively move from where we are to a more equitable, inclusive, and hopeful future. Actions include reshaping the content of our current programs, creating safe spaces for ongoing conversations about race and racism, and the design of processes to help equip more people to have these conversations skillfully and confidently.
