Work With Us

We deliver the impact 
that's needed today.

 

Do Real Work with Real Impact

The work that we do together is not conceptual or abstract. We identify concrete goals collaboratively and we achieve those goals through proven methodologies. Because our services respond to rather than react to the moment, we are able to strategically tackle real world challenges in ways that engage — not prescribe. Our team has the ability to work with enterprise organizations as effectively as grassroots community organizations. Regardless of the size of a company or organization, it is possible to put sustainable, systemic change into place.

Let's dig into our three key offerings, Catalytic Experiences, Coaching and Advisory, and Community Building.

1. Catalytic Experiences

Our engaging training experiences provide participants with a strong understanding of the Groundwater metaphor—laying the foundation for deeper work within your organization to equip a broad range of stakeholders to build better workplaces and communities. We believe that real problem-solving starts with a shared language, which is why we offer both introductory and deeper paths to trainings that help your team shift their lens from individuals to systems, and step into their rightful role. 

Our introductory, Foundations Training provides an accessible, 1-to-3-hour introduction to core systems concepts, designed to reduce resistance and spark open dialogue. Our cornerstone Immersive Experience delivers a deep dive into the historical and structural roots of inequity across 1.5 days, creating the alignment needed to drive lasting organizational change. Both formats blend compelling video modules with live, facilitated discussion to meet your team precisely where they are.

What Attendees Are Saying

“I feel very grateful to have participated in this workshop, and want to thank both facilitators for doing a fantastic job creating a safe, comfortable space for folks from across the country to come together and discuss some very heavy topics. I was not sure what to expect from this session, but I feel re-committed to engaging in racial equity work, especially in the wake of our country's current political climate.”

“I texted the friend who recommended this to me that it does a much better job of connecting all the dots into an interconnected narrative than other similar trainings I've done”

2. Coaching and Advisory

Our coaching and advisory support offerings help leaders embed a groundwater lens into their decision-making and strengthen their organization’s impact. In some cases we work with teams to align their organizations with the insights from our cornerstone training on race and equity.

In others, we advise on culture, systems change, or strategy more broadly and often include bespoke trainings or experiences that help catalyze teams and forward movement.

We always work in close partnership with your leaders to design integrated, organization-wide approaches that spark meaningful shifts in culture, performance, and outcomes.

We are not a traditional consulting firm; instead, we guide and coach leaders, provide strategic frameworks, and empower them to make bold, informed decisions that move their organizations toward lasting, transformative change.

3. Community Building

 

Groundwater Network is a community of leaders committed to learning, connection, and collective action to drive the systemic change this moment demands. We bring together our training participants and likeminded partners who use an equity-focused, data-informed analysis and share the skills, courage, and commitment to confront structural inequity and build a world where everyone can thrive.

As a movement ecosystem, we cultivate broad-based coalitions and institutional power that make deep, lasting change possible. In practice, this means thousands of leaders impacting millions of workers. Anyone rooted in this work, such as those who have completed our immersive training or a comparable experience, is welcome to join; all we ask is a shared commitment to action.
