Cultural Resourcing — The Heart of CORE
Cultural Resourcing is the foundation of my CORE Strategy: Culture, Opportunity, Respect, and Engagement. It’s the practice of leading, coaching, and building organizations by drawing from the cultural strengths that already exist within people and communities.
Culture — honors the stories, values, and lived experiences that define who we are.
Opportunity — grows when we use those cultural strengths to create new paths for learning, leadership, and innovation.
Respect — deepens as we recognize every culture as a source of wisdom, not something to “fix” or “fit in.”
Engagement — thrives when people feel seen, valued, and connected through the cultures they bring to the table.
Cultural Resourcing turns diversity into direction. It shifts focus from managing differences to mobilizing them—for impact, authenticity, and sustainable change.
