Relational, trauma-informed culture change for organizations and groups

About The Greater Us

Every organization hits moments when it can get stuck. Conflict goes unaddressed, trust erodes, people stop bringing their full selves to the work. The Greater Us helps organizations and leaders build the relational foundations that cultures need to move through difficulty and grow. Grounded in a robust relational model and integrating a trauma-informed approach, this work creates conditions where people can contribute fully and organizations can stay strong under pressure.

I wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody who wishes to improve their organizational climate.

"Dr. Akhtar created a space where people with a wide range of comfort and experience could talk together about the sensitive issues of power, inclusion, and diversity. I was so impressed with the non-judgemental, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable way she moderated the discussions!"
