You’re invited to become a founding member of the…
Inheritance Project Community
A monthly membership for evoluntionary leaders who are committed to transforming inherited beliefs, behaviors and systems that create division and conflict.
Change begins with you
As an alumni of Bridge Builders and other deep leadership programs, you are committed to making change in the world and you know that starts with you.
It starts with the the way you show up under stress, in the heat of the moment and when you feel triggered or threatened.
It starts with the way you listen deeply to others, even when their perspective and experience is radically different to your own.
It starts with the way you pause, breathe and notice your old inherited patterns of reactivity arising in the moment, and choose a conscious response instead.
You aspire to lead in the most conscious and evolutionary way, but the fact is that rewiring a lifetime of inherited conditioning is hard work.
It’s hard to stay motivated to practice new patterns of behavior when the other people in your life or in your workplace aren’t in the same practice.
It’s hard to find the confidence to continue practicing new skills when you catch yourself slipping back into old patterns when you’re exhausted, burnt out and under pressure to meet the next deadline.
It’s hard to find the energy to rewire inherited behaviors, when you are faced with a heated political or work environment and find yourself in the midst of emotionally intense and triggering situations on a daily basis, on top of systemic oppression.
If you’ve been feeling this way since graduating from our program, we are here for you.
We are opening the doors of the Inheritance Project Community this October because we see you and we want to give you the support you need to be the change you wish to see in the world.
“I have learned so much about myself and have experienced real and meaningful transformation in both my professional and personal lives as a result of the tools and insights. We so often think that the work requires changing others - in this community, I discovered that the most effective way to is to start by changing yourself. Life altering! ”

A heads up that this Community is NOT for you if…
❌ You want to be in an echo chamber of people who share your exact same political views and identity
❌ You want to be affirmed in your perspective, and feel harmed by anything that challenges to your way of seeing the world
❌ You’re not ready to have conversations about identity and privilege with a diverse group of humans who may have different political views and identities to you
❌ You don’t want to feel the discomfort of having your inherited beliefs and behaviors challenged, or being held accountable to your commitments
❌ You are looking for a anti-racism or activist training - we recommend LCK Coaching & Consulting and Ambient Noise for anti-racism and racism reduction work

The Community launches the first week of October 2024, with the first live session on Friday Oct 4 at 12-1:15pm ET.

That said, we require a minimum 3 month membership commitment. In our experience, this is the minimum amount of required to soak up the resources and vibe and understand if this community is something you want to continue to invest in.
After your initial commitment, you may renew your membership on a monthly or annual basis, and can cancel your membership at any time.

Great question! If you are employed, your organization may already have funds available for you to invest in professional and leadership development. We’ve done the legwork of creating a simple, convincing email you can use to pitch this to your boss. Feel free to use this as a guide and customize the language to be most suited to your goals and your organization’s context.
We also recommend having an in-person conversation with your boss or funder to share your passion for the program and explain how the skills you will learn will impact your organization. Reflect on how you can tie the skills you will learn in this program to a specific business objective, organizational goal or personal metric you are accountable for. Some examples of organizational impact may include:
Build stronger relationships with stakeholders in or outside your organization to improve your level of influence and get greater support for your priority initiatives
Improve relationships and negotiations with clients, leading to increased revenue and client retention
Cultivate your team’s sense of inclusion and engagement at work, leading to decreased costs from employee turnover
Dear [MANAGER’S NAME],
I am so excited to share with you an opportunity that aligns perfectly with our recent discussions around leveling up my leadership skills. I have been reflecting on my goals as a leader in [NAME OF ORGANIZATION] and how I can show up with stronger communication skills and build stronger collaborative relationships across our organization and stakeholders.
I am reaching out to request $831 of funding for a year-long professional development membership, focused on Inclusive Leadership & Conflict Resolution because I’d love to be able to create the conditions where our team can thrive and communicate effectively while working together on [NAME OF PROJECT YOU’RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON].
The year-long membership begins on Oct 1 , 2024 and ends on September 30, 2025. I believe this would be beneficial to myself as well as other leaders and managers to ensure we are working towards a common goal of an inclusive workplace where we approach conflicts constructively and create the opportunity for everyone to contribute their best work. You can learn more about the program here: www.inheritanceproject.org/community
Let’s find time this week to talk more about it.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
