The Equity Breakthrough Program

Break Through the Barriers to Equity Work That Sticks

Start your breakthrough conversation

Equity isn’t extra work. It is the work.

You’re committed to equity in your organization, but making it part of daily practice can feel slow and harder than expected. Teams face real barriers: uncertainty about where to start, what’s expected, or how to bring others along. The desire to do better is there, it’s the path forward that’s unclear.

That’s where the Equity Breakthrough Program comes in.
‍
Designed for busy, mission-driven teams, this hands-on program helps you move from stuck to steady, translating equity goals into everyday shared practices.

A high-impact experience that shifts teams from hesitation to confidence, and from passive participation to real ownership of equity work.

Let’s Talk About Your Goals

Who We Designed This Program For

Built for not-for-profit teams committed to equity but need support turning that commitment into real, lasting change.

We work with staff, leadership, boards, and cross-functional teams who:

  • Have completed equity, diversity, and inclusion training, but don’t see it reflected in daily work
  • Feel stuck between big conversations and meaningful action
  • Experience low or uneven engagement, where a few voices lead and others stay quiet
  • Want practical tools that connect equity to their day-to-day roles, goals, and systems
  • Are ready to lead equity efforts with more clarity, confidence, and collaboration, not fear of making mistakes

Build confidence to navigate tough conversations

Cultivate shared ownership that goes beyond individual champions

What Our Partners Are Saying

“Connect2Knowledge really were able to grasp the complexities of the co-op housing sector and present simple solutions.

Working with them really has helped us move the needle, getting clarity on what's needed to make the changes we need and equip us with the tools and processes so we can navigate this ambitious growth goal.

I'm really grateful for their insight, their honesty and incredible flexibility, jumping in when and where needed and always, always with such professionalism, inclusiveness and respect.”

Director, Member Services, Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada

"Natalie’s (Connect2knowledge) DEI workshops were exactly what we needed as a team.

She designed a program that not only covered the core principles and theoretical foundations of DEI policies but also highlighted the genuine value of fostering a culture of understanding and appreciation.

We gained meaningful and practical insights into how we can promote inclusivity and respect for diverse perspectives in our work. This has made a lasting impact on our organization."

CEO, World Ovarian Cancer Coalition

"I really enjoyed the mix of didactic learning as well as small group work and larger group discussions.

I was engaged during the whole day!

I appreciate the use of humour and the presenter’s vulnerability and sharing own experiences to open up the dialogue and provide a safe space to explore EDI work."

"I thought the presenters did a great job navigating a difficult subject, and keeping it a safe space. I also loved hearing the real-life examples."
