Dynamic and Engaging Conversations

We provide dynamic and engaging content in a variety of formats, utilizing conversation and reflection to deepen learning. We work with organizations, leadership and C-suite groups, K12 schools, colleges and universities, non-profits, governmental agencies, athletic departments, sports teams, and more.

anti-racist lens

We bring an antiracist lens to all of our work. It allows us to situate ourselves in this work and the profound impact racism continues to have on our institutions, organizations, and lived experiences. When we bring this lens to our work together, we can have more nuanced conversations, more effectively navigate conflict, create a deeper sense of belonging, and provide more impactful tools and strategies.

Building Capacity

Many of us avoid the essential conversations we need to have because they’re challenging to start and tricky to navigate. But we call them essential conversations for a reason–and you can build your capacity so that starting them and navigating conflict that inevitably arises becomes easier. We help you build your capacity personally, as a leader, and as part of an organization through a variety of tools and strategies.

Jen Fry is a powerful, no nonsense, call it like it is, engaging speaker. Jen encouraged the team I was on to have challenging conversations and raise our awareness of unconscious and conscious blinders shaping everyone's view. She is creative and has her pulse on what is happening in the current environment of college athletics. Jen provides encouragement while listening and cultivating relationships.

WSU invited Jen Fry to speak to our coaches, administrators, and student-athletes to discuss social justice and power and privilege. Her focus on common language, history, and reflection was the foundation we needed to continue our mission of becoming a more equitable and inclusive athletic department. Our time with Jen has led to more education and powerful discussions. We look forward to continuing to grow thanks to Jen's resources.

Jen Fry was phenomenal! She provided a wealth of knowledge for our coaches and administrators regarding current social justice issues. She helped enhance our "toolbox" of resources to use in our efforts to assist our student-athletes and each other during this critical time in our society. Jen presents with AUTHENTICITY, POWER and PRESENCE, which empowers her audience to be honest and empathetic, which is essential to leading and fostering healthy relationships with our student-athletes and each other. We can't wait to bring Jen back to engage with our student-athletes in the near future.

Jen does not lecture, but engages the audience by creating an open dialogue. She leaves space for individual conversations with peers but brings it back to the group so ideas can be shared. Jen's content opens the door to issues on race, inclusion, diversity, and learned behavior. With data and statistics at the ready, she led us all through a discussion that actively challenges that status quo of society.
