“Conscious Change is a book that arrives at a crucial moment in our nation’s history, offering invaluable insight on how we can bridge the divide and foster unity. Through poignant stories and honest reflections, this book delves into the lives of individuals navigating differences and conflicts, highlighting the transformative power of personal growth and resilience.”
Midwest Review of Books
“The emphasis on fostering diversity and examining the systems in which people work is highly relevant to the modern workplace.”
“The framework, laid out with persuasive clarity, encourages readers toward deeper understanding of themselves and others, with a welcome emphasis on controlling emotions, recognizing cultural differences, and navigating the often complex dynamics between members of dominant and nondominant groups. The advice takes much of the edge off hard but necessary conversations.”
“A book of this sort is rarely a page-turner, but Conscious Change is that! The transparency exhibited by the storytellers, the scientific underpinnings, and the applicability of the ‘tools’ to both personal and work relationships make the book extremely useful.”
“Conscious Change is a must-read guide for personal and professional growth, for navigating diverse and complex workplaces, and for embarking on a life-changing journey in our everyday relationships.”
“This is an absolute gem of a book! Using an engaging writing style, the authors offer a clear framework for change at the personal, interpersonal, and systemic levels.”
Susan P. Robbins, PhD, LCSW, Cele S. and Samuel D. Keeper Endowed Professor in Social Justice, University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work “Conscious Change outperforms any other book about navigating difference and fostering inclusion.”

“The book offers practical guidance on nurturing inclusive relationships by emphasizing the demanding yet transformative practice of staying consciously present.”
Amanda Polich, Leader, Executive Relationships at Ultimate Kronos Group, Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, and Board Chair for Houston Council on Recovery “The book is filled with rich stories that made me mutter, ‘I’ve been there.

Dr. Barbara Love, Professor Emeritus, Social Justice Education-University of Massachusetts, and author of Developing Liberatory Consciousness “The digestible format makes Conscious Change an ideal workplace or social book club selection.”
