“I feel grounded.”

That’s what people keep saying after we do coaching sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. And I’m so glad to get people there, because when we’re grounded we’re more able to act with clarity amidst chaos.

It feels like I’ve been preparing for these high chaos moments since my return from Ferguson in 2014. My online facilitation skills are on point after years of honing with Training for Change. And being at home, matches a desire I’ve felt for years.

I firmly believe that we were born for times like these. Instead of getting lost in the swirl of possibilities, we have the ability to stay focused amidst high chaos. And I'm glad to help social justice leaders stay grounded in their power through this moment.

This Healing Spring, I am holding space for a group of social justice leaders want to move firmly from their power during these times. I believe we have all the wisdom needed to solve impossible problems, and we benefit from help to stay grounded and on course toward our goals.

Check out Flying High, a 4-month program for social justice leaders of color, we’ll get rooted in purpose and act from our power. Apply yourself, or pass it along to someone you think could benefit.

With love,
Matthew
