Executive Team Guidance
Senior leaders often get promoted because of their technical expertise, yet remain challenged by the human problems inside their organizations: polarization on teams, cultures of silence or quiet rebellion, claims of racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination. These are systems problems which can only be solved by systems thinking. Our Executive Team Guidance Packages help executive leadership teams become equity-minded systems thinkers using innovative tools and strategies.
Starting with a 90-minute strategy and assessment session including our Anima Leaders’ Snapshot survey, let our Anima experts lead you through the why, what and how of inclusive systems change. Add additional team coaching sessions to go deeper into your organization’s unique growth challenges and goals with bespoke and comprehensive strategic follow-up support.
Invest in getting your executive leadership team literate and onboard with inclusive systems change.

Strategic Planning, Surveys and Audits
Equity and inclusive practices are no longer a sidebar project, but the heart of organizational growth, efficacy and development. To keep up, organizations need to understand what their starting point is, where they need to go, and what steps will get them moving along from equity beginners to becoming inclusion leaders.
Based on our many years in the field, Anima Leadership has developed evidence-based, user-friendly and comprehensive Organizational Audit and Survey tools designed for any individual, leadership team or organization to measure their current progress and plan effective next steps forward. Areas of focus include:
- Inclusive policies and procedures;
