Get all the details to join my private conversation with Desiree B. Stephens on Wednesday, November 19th, 12 noon EST/New York (UTC-5) here.* 

Desiree’s excellent e-book “15 Pillars of Supremacy Culture” (get it here) is the November Big Read over in my Patreon community.

Interested in learning about putting equity over extraction in business? 

Check out this conversation* I had with Desiree last Friday, November 14.

I expect my business to take a hit as I continue to speak out about the harms of supremacy culture and white nationalism. Please help me fight this good and necessary fight by recommending me to social justice-minded friends and colleagues who might need a business coach or strategic planner (my specialty as a planner is small shops) or of course folks who might be interested in my Spark Your Idea workshop.

I’m also refocusing my Patreon community* to talk more about how to liberate businesses from capitalism’s narrow focus on profiting from extraction, and it’s a near-zero commitment to join and talk with me there.

My equity pricing structure means I can help most folks regardless of their capacity to pay and I have extensive experience, especially in the area of social justice. Some of my clients run high-revenue businesses, while others run non-profits or part-time or one-person businesses.

I try to be transparent about my identity as a white, cis-het, middle-class, non-disabled woman in the U.S., because I think it’s important for my potential clients to know. I often get to work with people who have identities that differ from mine, and together, we are building a more just and equitable world where our lives and work are much better because of it.

Please join me to talk to Desiree B. Stephens on November 19,

Kay Coughlin, CEO and Business Coach, Facilitator on Fire
