Our core values are guided by being impactful, transcendent, benevolent, and brave. Our firm’s strengths are concentrated on laying a strong foundation to sustain the complexity of uncertainty and constant change.

GETA has a solid corporate structure with significant certification backing. Our certifications provide us with access to some of the most influential leaders in the corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors, offering business development programs, peer review, workshops, seminars, expos, matchmaking, and mentorship. When we face unusual challenges, we have a vast network of support.

We conducted a deep dive, including historical background, to examine how diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging intersect with social structures and create injustice throughout society. BJEDI is our contribution to supporting DEI leadership strategy and discovering the foundational cracks in structures that are not safe.

With companies embracing equity, empathy becomes a critical factor in gaining a mutual understanding of one another. Our training teaches the foundations of empathy in leadership and our ABCs and 123s Global Empathy Framework has been accepted for journal publication by the APA.

An intersectional strategy gives more freedom to identify the root causes of problems and find new opportunities to build equitable support. Our BJEDI workbook has team brainstorming exercises designed with an intersectional lens to help you find the best strategies and initiatives for your department.

We have experience in strengthening local government working to achieve racial equity and advancing opportunities for all. We work to transform institutions, policies, and culture to be racially just. By providing solutions-oriented spaces for learning and strategic alignment, we provide tools, knowledge, and opportunities for organizations and communities to grow the collective power necessary to counter structural racism and steward transformative solutions for racial justice.

Our research design is critically intersectional with capabilities to excavate the root causes of problems and find new opportunities to build equitable capacity. Using a qualitative approach gives participants a voice, raises consciousness, finds causal answers, and advances an agenda to assess priorities. We utilize semi-structured interviews, online surveys, a root cause analysis, in-person community-involved listening sessions, and round table discussions as discovery tools, having designed over 100 Likert-scale questions to topics related to BJEDI to assess an understanding of culture and training needs. Our interview techniques are led by the basic ethical principles and guidelines of The Belmont Report that govern protecting human subjects from the invasion of privacy, breaches of confidentiality, anonymity, and unbearable distress caused by topics raised in the interview process or community listening sessions. Our final reports will give rich data to evaluate strategic priorities.

We integrate sustainability and citizen engagement throughout a project’s lifecycle and prioritize implementation strategies that benefit the most vulnerable. This is to ensure that the disparities that are relevant to our work are validated by community input. We tied our community engagement framework to the Justice40 Initiative Community Benefits Plan to ensure that disadvantaged communities receive the benefits of federal investments. We can identify and organize community-based organizations or individuals in targeted areas who comprise and/or represent historically underrepresented populations into a stakeholder analysis chart for research participatory purposes.

We collect data from participants at the beginning of the project to extract baseline measures, and at its completion, for evaluation. The results can measure the impact and aid our team in reporting implications and giving recommendations for the next steps.

Our training models are grounded in research and empirically supported to help professionals develop a moderate understanding of BJEDI and how to apply strategy into workstreams. Our sessions are captivating, peer-reviewed, trauma-informed, and tied to adult learning theories.
