NCCJ offers a variety of customized coaching and consulting options to help leaders, organizations, and communities along their human better journey.
Coaching
Our individual and small group coaching sessions provide leaders at every level access to targeted, effective professional development and support from experienced NCCJ Consultants. Our coaching sessions give leaders the confidence and skills to cultivate healthier and more inclusive organizational cultures. NCCJ coaching is ideal for individuals and small groups who wish to:
- work on targeted areas of personal or professional development
- gain the confidence to understand and use the skills they already have

Workshops
Our hands-on, highly engaging workshops provide participants with the framework to better understand how identity and oppression function, and how to remove barriers to collaboration, productivity, and community building. Every NCCJ workshop provides participants with skills they can put into action immediately upon leaving the workshop, and the tools to plan long-term for healthier culture. NCCJ workshops are ideal for organizations and groups who:
- are navigating identity or culture-based conflict
- wish to move forward with concrete steps in their equity plans
- are ready to increase their team’s knowledge around identity and collaboration

Focus Groups
NCCJ focus groups give leaders insight into the challenges and successes that their organizations face. Our focus groups provide an opportunity to center the voices and concerns that might otherwise go unheard, allowing leaders to make culture changes from an informed perspective. NCCJ focus groups are for organizations and groups who:
- face identity-based challenges
- want to prevent identity-based challenges
- are interested in the voices of their employees, clients, students, and/or other community members
Affinity Group Development & Facilitation
Affinity Groups serve as valuable tools in creating safety, cohesion, and a sense of belonging within an organization. NCCJ offers support in developing affinity spaces, facilitating them, and equipping group members to facilitate and maintain the spaces on their own. Affinity groups are ideal for organizations and groups who:
- are committed to creating a sense of belonging for underrepresented members
- wish to minimize harm for exploring challenging topics by creating safe spaces
- want to build cohesion across identity
Culture Assessments
Not sure where to start? NCCJ’s culture assessments provide organizations with valuable information about how team members view areas of organizational growth. NCCJ culture assessments include one-on-one and small group interviews, mini surveys, focus groups, and community conversations used in tandem to create a wholistic picture of your organization’s cultural health. Culture assessments are useful for organizations and groups who:
- want real insights into their group culture
- wonder where to start for long-term cultural change
Community Conversations
Community conversations are an opportunity for group members to come together and enjoy a facilitated discussion on various topics. NCCJ community conversations are highly structured dialogues where large groups dive into challenging topics or engage in decision-making or strategic planning together. NCCJ community conversations are ideal for organizations/groups who wish to:
- Explore topics that impact the group but are challenging to discuss
- Hear multiple voices and perspectives when deciding priorities
- Gather actionable data from larger groups within the organization
