“…our organization is forever changed…”

“Our work with Nicole and Suzanne came at a pivotal moment in our organization’s history,  as we were grappling with deep questions about organizational identity and structure. Although we always identified as an anti-racist entity, we had failed to really explore what that meant and whether we were living the values we claimed. 

BCWT helped us evaluate our internal culture and begin rebuilding our organization with intentionality and in a way that aligned with our principles. Through the BCWT process, we reflected on our relationships and internal dynamics, generated visions for the future, implemented new systems and operations, overhauled our recruitment and volunteer selection process, and fortified our anti-racist working group.

Nicole and Suzanne were exceptional facilitators—warm, patient, compassionate and strategic—and brought innovation to our group without dominating or directing our process. We are so grateful to have known and worked with Nicole and Suzanne, and our organization is forever changed because of them. They are stellar colleagues and just all around wonderful people to work with.”

“…skilled, humanizing facilitators with perpetual eyes and hearts towards racial justice.”

“We were fortunate to get to work with BCWT Consulting on a virtual Introduction to Transformative Justice training series for our small education organization. Nicole & Suzanne were so knowledgeable and flexible, and are both skilled, humanizing facilitators with perpetual eyes and hearts towards racial justice. They were able to really hold the space we needed and give us clear philosophy and strategies to build from.”

“BCWT helped us to redirect and reframe our focus...”

“Suzanne and Nicole were incredibly helpful in supporting our organization through the beginnings of our anti-racist framework. With their guidance we were able to build community based on trust, thoughtful but challenging conversations, and mutual expectations. Suzanne and Nicole were also incredibly flexible and open to changes that emerged throughout the process. BCWT helped us to redirect and reframe our focus in order to have a deeper understanding of where our work should go.”
