Strategic Visioning & One-City Alignment
Culture Realignment
For cities and agencies committed to healthy, high-trust workplaces. This series builds psychological safety and belonging through clear norms, fair and consistent practices, and manager habits that lower heat and raise accountability. Teams learn to give and receive feedback, handle hard conversations, and make hiring and advancement decisions people understand.
Strategic Visioning
Practical 1/3/5-year planning with community engagement. We align vision, values, and mission on one page, set shared milestones, and run a clear 30/60/90 cadence across departments. Leaders get simple tools to communicate progress—so the public understands the work and staff stay aligned.
Procedural Justice for Courts and Civic Leaders
Make fair process visible at the counter and in the courtroom. We turn the four pillars—voice, neutrality, dignity, and clear explanations—into daily behaviors, de-escalation language, and simple scripts/visuals leaders can use. The outcome: calmer rooms, clearer expectations, stronger cooperation across your team and city, and credibility residents can feel.
Education for Psychological Safety
Video, real cases, and interactive practice that turn psychological safety into daily behavior. Teams learn de-escalation language, speak-up protocols, and manager habits (check-ins, feedback, reset) that reduce burnout and hold standards. We also install leader safety signals (invite dissent, own misses), meeting norms that hold (round-robin, decision record), and the Accountability Ladder—“manage promises, not people” so safety and accountability rise together.
The training will answer these critical questions:
-
What it is (in daily behavior):
-
What it creates (in teams)
-
How to implement it:
“Fogbreak’s teaching style lends itself to a fully
engaged audience. I have been in policing twenty
years and never seen a group of officers as engaged as they were during this training... By the end of the trainingit was clear that we are all partners in working todeliver justice for all.”

Equity Education and Skills for Businesses
For companies that are serious about racial equity and building inclusive work communities, this series includes educational programs addressing race and structural racism, implicit bias, privilege and ally-ship and skill-building workshops about creating sustainable inclusion, creating fairness in hiring, and leading challenging conversations.
Cultural Alignment: Mission, Vision, Values
Unearth the shared values of your company and discover how those are aligned with and drive the goals of the DEI work in the organization. Leaders and staff will work together in facilitated groups to develop stronger bonds with each other and to develop a greater connection to the importance of DEI work. Rather than leaders imposing a vision, these collaborative sessions encourage engagement and return a more passionate commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Leadership for Inclusion
Leaders and rising leaders will participate in a half-day session about increasing fairness and equity in their offices and practices. The participants will learn the four pillars of equitable leadership: creating a vision, creating community, communicating, and leading with integrity. All of the topics will be taught through interactive exercises that engage the participants and provide skills for implementing the concepts in the workplace.
Coaching and consulting
One-on-one or small group consulting
We work with businesses, governments and organizations to provide services critical to creating equitable and inclusive workplaces. We offer both 1:1 leadership training and support or work with the teams responsible for building and improving equity within your organization. We can help develop leadership and belonging committees and task forces and provide on-going advice and support on city issues as they arise. We can also provide a comprehensive assessment of your company culture and practices in order to develop a comprehensive plan for moving forward.
“Fogbreak Justice led a half-day training for 100 attorneys and staff in our office. The training was informative, interesting, and interactive. Learning about bias and strategies for reducing bias is imperative for criminal justice professionals of all kinds.”
