Our Mission

We believe that courageous conversations about race have the power to change things in the world that prevent governments, organizations and people from achieving their best outcomes.

In the nearly 30 years we have been around, the world has made a lot of progress when it comes to achieving racial equality. But it’s not a linear process. It’s two steps forward, one step back.

We resist the change because it’s uncomfortable—ultimately, leaving us all stuck.

Our services are designed to help you get unstuck and begin the right conversations to realize change in your organization, community or city.

“The impact of the training is of such magnitude that we have to prioritize the importance of the city providing access and support to expand the training across the Austin community.”
Steve Adler
Mayor, Austin, TX
“As an influential, global advertising agency, we were and are excellent at solving complex brand problems for Fortune 500 clients. Yet, we were not good at solving our own issue, which was lack of diversity in our people, our culture and the work we put out into the world. The team at Courageous Conversation drove us toward action at all points and forced us to dissect our inaction.”
Sarah Thompson
Global CEO, Droga5
“The work Glenn is doing through Courageous Conversation About Race will stir you intellectually and move your personal beliefs beyond what you knew possible. This is the first approach I’ve seen that moves everyone along on their journey based on where they are personally first.”
