An array of events for deeply principled and liberatory-minded comrades who are avoidant of and reluctant around practices of leadership because…ick.

What Event Attendees Are Saying
“Even though I'm currently self-employed, this workshop was so validating to past me in a toxic workplace who rage quit because she didn't know what else to do. And I feel so much more prepared for navigating ending work/client relationships. It puts me at ease to have a process to reference once I get the inkling that I want to end a work relationship--instead of before when I'd have the realization but then be faced with the intense overwhelm of ‘well now what??’”
— Event Participant | Should I Stay or Should I Go: Strategic Considerations Before Quitting a Job
“Yejin is the most empowering, engaging, and caring facilitator I've ever interacted with. Yejin approaches information with an empathetic and person first approach that creates strong communities among audience members. To witness her facilitate is to be loved, motivated, inspired, and ready for action all at the same time. Bring an open mind, a way to take notes, and time to process afterwards because you'll need it.”
— MP, Event Participant | Confronting Racism at Work: Strategic Self-Advocacy for People of Color
“Yejin is rare in her honesty and so authentically herself that you will not only get a training on the subject matter, but also on honest discourse. She challenges, supports growth, and takes no nonsense. If you let go and admit you need to learn, you'll grow leaps and bounds.”
