Before we lead others, we need to understand ourselves.

We've created a free Cultural Humility & Anti-Racism Self-Assessment for leaders and it's now live.

It's not about passing or failing. Think of it as a mirror and a map.

It only takes 5 minutes and it helps you reflect on two things:

1. Your individual practice - how you show up as a leader
2. Your organisational influence - the change you're creating around you

You'll discover your Leadership Profile and what to focus on next.

The tool was designed to work for all leaders, regardless of racial background, and it acknowledges the very different experiences people bring to this work.

If you want to delve deeper, our book A Cultural Humility Approach to Antiracism: Guidance for Compassionate Leadership and Culture publishes this Wednesday on Amazon. The assessment is a taster of what's inside.

6 Days to Go

One of the biggest barriers to progress is defensiveness.

Cultural humility creates the conditions for something different. It opens minds, supports reflection and makes honest conversations possible.

This book is about doing that work in a way that is grounded, human and sustainable.

7 Days to Go

Over the last four years, this book has been shaped by real conversations with organisations across the UK.

The A.C.T.I.V.E. Framework brings that learning together into a clear, practical roadmap for antiracism that can be applied in real workplace settings.
