Connection to Community
Community connections are central to our work. Our vision of a more inclusive world starts at the intersection of our community work, how we interact with one another, and the ways in which we build power for those most impacted by injustices and systemic barriers. Our approach to community connection includes organizing and power building, strategic meeting facilitation, and coaching for managers and directors of grassroots organizations.
Meeting Facilitation
ICC offers meeting and retreat facilitation for nonprofits, coalitions, and leadership teams who want to move forward with clarity and connection. Our approach is rooted in equity and care, we design spaces where participants feel heard, energized, and ready to act. Whether it’s guiding a board through strategic planning, supporting a coalition in aligning on shared goals, or holding space for a team to reflect and recharge, we bring tools that balance structure with flexibility. Each gathering is tailored to the group’s needs, ensuring outcomes that are both meaningful and actionable.
Organizational Development Consulting
ICC supports organizations through consulting that strengthens teams, sharpens strategy, and embeds equity at every level. This includes guiding team development, shaping campaign strategies, and co-creating equity, centered program designs. Our approach encourages organizations to move toward more democratic workplaces, where power is shared, voices are valued, and decision-making reflects collective wisdom. By combining practical tools with an equity lens, we help teams not only reach their goals but do so in ways that build trust, accountability, and long-term sustainability.
Executive Coaching
ICC offers coaching for managers and directors who are navigating the complexities of leadership. Our coaching provides a supportive space to reflect, build confidence, and strengthen skills in supervision, communication, and team alignment. Whether it’s stepping into a new role, guiding staff through change, or deepening equity-centered leadership practices, we walk alongside leaders to help them grow with clarity and resilience.
Organizing and Power Building
ICC supports power building through community organizing that centers the voices and leadership of those most impacted. Our work has included bringing people together around housing, transportation, and environmental justice issues, creating spaces where community members can identify shared priorities, build collective strength, and take action. In our world, organizing is about more than campaigns; it’s about nurturing relationships, growing leadership, and ensuring our communities have the power to shape decisions that affect their daily lives.
