OUR MISSION
We believe that people have more in common with each other than differences, and through genuine understanding and authentic communication, we can make a stronger and better world. Our mission is to be the guiding star in building a community of individuals, companies, and governments that is united in diversity, equanimity, and connection.
HOW WE DO THAT
- Educating individuals and organizations on how to utilize cultural humility, empathy, and compassion (CHEC) in personal, professional, and organizational communication and policy creation.
- Mentorship & counseling of students and individuals toward leadership roles in personal, professional, and organizational capacities with a focus on diverse and inclusive environments and policies through cultural awareness practices.
- Providing 1:1 counseling and coaching.
- Hosting webinars based on the CHEC Framework.
WHAT DOES CHEC STAND FOR
Cultural Humility—A lifelong commitment to self-evaluation, self-critique, and self-development (Tervalon & Murray-Garcia, 1998)
Empathy—Stepping out of our own point-of-view to listen and understand others from the perspective of their cumulative life experiences
Compassion—Dropping our defenses to enable us to communicate, educate, and support one another from a place of kindness and love
"Replace judgment with curiosity."
