Our Services

    Consulting

    We see every organization as both an institution and a community – a structure of policies and roles, and a network of human relationships. Deep and lasting change requires aligning both. 

    Our consulting services help organizations live their values in daily decisions, policies, and programs, creating environments where everyone can thrive.

    Consulting packages can include strategic planning, assessment/evaluation, policy development, leadership development, and implementation support.

Why work with us

a trainer and a participant stand together at an easel pad, discussing; the easel pad reads "values we hold" followed by a brainstorm

  • We envision a world in which ecosystems of organizations, communities, networks, and individuals collaborate to transform themselves and broader systems to continually move toward a world of fair, plentiful, joyful, and connected living and working conditions for all.

  • We hold equity and leadership of the people most impacted by oppression as central to all our values, which include:

    Transformation: We support change that starts with repair and healing of historical and ongoing harms and that alters the shape of systems, common practices, and individual behaviors

    Relationality: We collaborate and ensure accessibility for everyone to have a voice.

    Accountable action: We use iterative approaches and insight from those most affected by decisions and oppression to continuously learn, assess impact, repair, and adjust.

    Ingenuity: We ground ourselves in the reality of the moment and act flexibly and creatively to meet multiple needs within multiple contexts, drawing on most impacted peoples’ lineage of survivance - surviving amidst oppression via unofficial means.

    Joy: We believe that joy is necessary for existence and we seek to make it possible for ourselves and all others.

  • Collaboration is a cornerstone of our approach. We work closely with clients, co-creating solutions that address their specific needs and challenges. By fostering partnerships and building relationships based on trust and mutual respect, Think Again creates lasting impact within organizations and communities.

  • Consulting clients that engage in a tailored, comprehensive assessment and consulting process realize immediate improvement while building internal capacity to continue honing their approach in operations, programs, and external partnerships. Organizations build shared understanding and skills, establish equitable organizational systems, and improve workplace climate. They also begin building accountable relationships with internal and external stakeholders who are most impacted by societal inequities, in order to get the kinds of feedback that allow for continual iteration and improvement. In short-term trainings, participants gain tools they can continue applying in their day-to-day practices, which contributes to improving organizational climate and outcomes and sets the stage for further learning, development and action.

  • Think Again fosters a culture of continuous learning and development, both with clients and within our own team. Our services encourage reflection, critical thinking, and skill-building. Team members engage in ongoing professional development to stay abreast of emerging trends and best practices, ensuring that Think Again remains at the forefront of equity-focused training and consulting.

    Leadership ARC participant

  • “The implementation [of the compensation equity process] went smoothly and well. I am especially grateful for the progress we made – both in recognition and compensation – for our paralegal advocates. I’m really happy with where we are, and I think it is showing up in our morale and retention.”

    Sarah Mattson Dustin, Executive Director, New Hampshire Legal Assistance

  • “Your work has made a really profound impact. Just one example: our redesigned hiring process resulted in a recent opening getting the largest and most diverse candidate pool we’ve ever seen. Many candidates said the language used and the transparency of our process is what made them want to apply. This is a big breakthrough for our organization showing up as authentic in our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

    Anore Horton, Executive Director, Hunger Free VT

  • “I think this is the only time in the past two years I've been on a video call and felt restored and energized. Your training is absolutely miles better quality than other trainings in this same domain!”

  • “This isn’t my first time in a space like this (a strategic planning process where I’m the only Black person in a majority-white org), but it’s my first time having it be a positive experience, feeling like a valuable participant and not just being mined for my experience.”
