Framework #1

RISE+ Feedback Model™

Recognize. Impact. Support. Elevate. Recovery. Amplify Positives.

RISE+ transforms feedback into a catalyst for growth, connection, and confidence. Leaders learn to deliver clear, compassionate, and actionable guidance while building trust and psychological safety. The model supports both reinforcing feedback and accountability conversations, fostering cultures where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to stretch.

Framework #2

ALIGN Framework™

Assess. Link. Integrate. Grow. Normalize.

ALIGN ensures DEI is not a standalone moment. It becomes embedded in systems, decisions, and everyday behaviors. The framework guides leaders to assess gaps, connect DEI to business outcomes, integrate equity into operations, and normalize inclusive leadership. ALIGN helps organizations move from intention to measurable impact.

LEARN Framework™

Master the Art of Receiving Feedback

Designed to complement RISE+, the LEARN model builds the other side of the feedback equation: receiving feedback. Leaders strengthen emotional agility, resilience, and humility so they can respond instead of react, turning feedback into fuel for development, self-awareness, and trust building.
