Strategy
We facilitate the design thinking process to produce a strategic plan that addresses your diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals.
Tools
We apply your strategy to design tools such as programs, initiatives, content, and curriculum, to meet organizational goals.
Storytelling
We develop compelling thought leadership to amplify your impact and inspire more leaders to be changemakers in their industries.
Our LISTEN, LEARN, ADVOCATE, BUILD framework is inspired by empathy, intersectionality, and design thinking principles. It lights a path for imagining healthier, more sustainable communities.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
"I have participated in design thinking workshops led by Stef and Shayna of SAM. I have hired them for high profile and complicated consulting projects for the career programs I manage. This team is incredibly savvy across industries and has the highest EQ in leading sessions with stakeholders, from high school students to a Board of Trustees. They are true listeners with a sense of calm, results-oriented, and all-around fun people to tackle problems and develop solutions with. The tools they taught me are ones I now use on an ongoing basis in both my professional and personal life."
Rebecca Ervey | Director of Professional Advancement, Prep for Prep
"I had the honor to collaborate with SAM to create and implement an entrepreneurship education program designed to support underserved community members. Throughout our engagement, Stef demonstrated a consistent, strategic vision providing an opportunity for community members to innovate and launch new businesses. In addition, her inclusive leadership and project management skills proved invaluable to the sustainability and growth of the program."
