RESOURCES
Culture shifts when teams are prepared and well-resourced. Whether we create or compile them, we never gate-keep.
Please utilize what you need to get started.
Strategic Planning for Organizational Success
You need a solid strategy with clear objectives, metrics for success, and concrete action so you make lasting change where it’s needed the most.
That means you need Strategic Planning!
Policy Development Labs
Rather than a list of “don’t,” we want to help you establish for your organization a list of aspirations to “do.” Good policies can guide people’s behavior and support team members in making the right decisions and improving inclusion and equity.
Power Dynamics 3-part Series
These workshops help staff learn how to collaborate with each other and nurture relationships across managerial levels to help constructively improve the welcoming atmosphere of your organization
Trust and Repair
Workplaces are like any other space - there’s conflict - and that’s okay. What matters is what you do when things go awry.
Change Management Labs
Change always meets resistance, but organizations must be able to meet challenges head on and face change in order to adapt. If you’re looking for help to roll out organizational change, book a call with us.
Leadership Lab 3-part Series
All successful teams start with trust. If a manager is going to go out of their way to make a suggestion, they have to trust leadership. If a staff member is asked to take on a task independently, that’s empowering them with trust.
So, how do we build trust?
Calico DEI Climate Surveys
Calico DEI Climate Surveys - gather insight into employee feedback with surveys and qualitative tools so you can make data-informed strategies that last.
Our Methods - Not Just a Checkbox
If you want to see demonstrable outcomes from your equity, culture, and inclusion programs, book a call with us. We can get started tailoring a program to your organization’s needs.
Research-backed methods work, and we’re proud to use them to build better cultures for academia, tech, governmental agencies, private industry, and beyond.
Trans Love in the face of Hate
When you hear people spouting these lies, please think of your queer friends and family. Do not stay silent. Expose the lies and the hatemongering. Embrace queer people in your schools and workplaces. Shut down harassment. Remind people of love.
Effects of Transphobia and Legislated Hate
There’s still a huge swathe of the country where anti-trans bills are going into effect, including in Missouri. There are, nationwide, 79 bills which have passed this year to target trans folk. It’s dismaying.
The Personal, being Politicized
I highly recommend giving this your full attention: Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen.
Transgender Rights
Hateful people are passing waves of anti-trans bills in sports, as well. They’re passing laws trying to say that we can’t talk about queer people in school, despite the fact that we talk about straight people in school every day, without any accusations of indoctrination into a “cisgender ideology.”

How to Fight White Supremacy… with Agile?
So, you can’t really get rid of white supremacy just by adopting Agile methods and frameworks, but you can use Agile structures to support anti-bias, anti-racism, and pro-inclusion and equity work individually, communally, and systemically within your organization. They all need to be a part of the picture.
Transgender Day of Visibility
Every year on March 31st, it’s the Transgender Day of Visibility! If you didn’t catch it last year, we did a video AMA with Linet interviewing me (Alexis) about some of my experiences as a trans woman. I also wrote three articles about it in the Calico Medium blog.
