Dr. Arlene Ford
Thought Leader and Agent of Change
Dr. Arlene Ford is a facilitator, researcher, educator, and storyteller with a passion for helping others learn and engage productively. She supports building organizational culture and creating positive change through shifts in our demeanor and awareness and through effective communication.
Her goal is to help build "We Intelligence", a collective mindset that empowers people to recognize inequality, build awareness, and create meaningful social change by combining radical sight and insight with a roadmap for transformative action.
Our Mission
We aim to promote equity, justice, and unity through our writing, speaking, and learning facilitation. We aim to breakdown barriers that have been constructed to oppress or exclude certain individuals from society and reimagine and build new constructs where necessary for us all to engage in unity.
Success Stories:
“Dr. Ford led our company through a communications series that invited positive, thoughtful dialogue and deepened our awareness of intent and impact. The training in active listening was invaluable and laid the foundation for each team member to recognize the power of their perspective and their voice and how sharing it affirms their value and strengthens our work.”
