Center for Daring worked with us to create an equitable hiring process. Our DEI committee co-created an online Agency Culture Assessment survey led by Liz, to gather data in relation to our DEI culture.  With that data, we were able to create and utilize more equitable hiring processes. Center for Daring’s work with us helped to strengthen not only our hiring practices but our entire team culture.  I would not hesitate to hire Liz and her team for any project.

I called on Liz to guide me through a situation that my LGBTQ kid was having at his school, and then to facilitate a conversation with the teacher involved. She gave me the courage and the focus I needed to go into the conversation with confidence, and then she masterfully guided us through the conversation. Liz was able to hold the teacher accountable while not putting him on the defensive, and to find common ground and areas where we could meet in the middle without abandoning our values. Liz’s experience, expertise, and abilities are an invaluable resource for the community, and I would hire her over and over again.

Creating a culture of courage requires just that, courage. The Tobacco Free Wichita Coalition was fortunate to benefit from Center of Daring’s brave training model, which assisted the coalition with gaining a better understanding of our individual and collective values. Sometimes courageous change is big and systematic, and sometimes it’s subtle. I have witnessed important shifts in our coalition culture since working with Center of Daring, as well as “smaller” refinement when it comes to diversity among myself and other individuals involved.
