We’re here to help teams thrive

Starshine and Clay supports leaders and their teams using shared equity leadership, Emergent Strategy Principles, somatics, Transformative Justice, and a network mindset to navigate their sphere of control and influence and access their power as interdependent contributors in shared ecosystems.

  • We believe that by liberating ourselves, we expand our capacity to contribute to the nurturance and vitality of our collective ecosystem. While institutions are not set up to honor our dignity and inherent worthiness, we have power, choice, autonomy, and the right to create humanizing space for folks to be valued and seen.

  • Whether you are working to gradually shift your work culture as part of your leadership role, wanting to reconnect to your shared purpose at a facilitated retreat, or interested in efforts to completely transform your organization towards greater belonging we’re here to partner with you.

  • We support leaders to identify their own limiting beliefs, habits and behaviors; become more attuned with the needs of their team; and develop empathetic person centered leadership practices to build trusted and resilient relationships in their organization.
