Want to have a better day at work?

Want your team to?

The people part of work, that’s where we specialize. How to have hard conversations. How to give feedback people can hear. How to disagree without doing damage, apologize when you get it wrong, hold each other accountable without shame, and keep it movin’.

We help teams shift from a Culture of Nice, where everyone is polite and no one says the thing, to a Culture of Care, where people tell the truth and still have each other’s backs. 

Learn with us online at your own pace, or bring us in to work with your team live. We’ve trained more than 70K people at places like Google, Adobe, and KIPP. We teach people how to have joy together at work.

What Participants and Organizations are Saying

“I think managers struggle with how to have certain conversations because it can feel uncomfortable intimate … but personal is professional especially when it comes to seeing how your direct reports are affected by matters of race, gender, sexual orientation etc. in the workplace.The Adaway Group taught me how to start open, but structured conversations with colleagues to address these topics with authenticity.”

-Tanuja Gupta

“This content allowed me to hold p a mirror, and then gave me the skills and information I need to accelerate conversation to action. I can’t think of a better partner for improving an organization’s ability to create an equitable, inclusive and just organization.”

- Laurie Stradley

“Desiree Adaway and her team do an incredible job creating a safe space and helping build the vocabulary, empathy and plans needed to actually make notable change within [the] organization. I can really see the transformative impact they had on our team at Google. This ends up being a competitive advantage both in the market as well as internally, where we became known as a highly inclusive team making a difference and attracting the best people.”
