Process for Company Growth
The results in the analysis Rise did for us was perfect. It really helps us make the case to move initiatives forward. They packaged it in a way that meant something to the people who were reading it.
Rise met us perfectly where we were at, which was wanting to do something, but needing a lot of guidance with it, but they did it in a way that was really collaborative, and we felt good about it. They were always readily available. We got so much out of it.
Rise just made sense. It was the right combination of services and flexibility.

What Our Partners are Saying
We hired The Rise Journey because we wanted a smaller, more personalized service. Jessica and her team were very sensitive, thoughtful and responsive. They helped us to engage our staff in a way that’s meaningful for them.
I’d highly recommend The Rise Journey.

Through multi-level DEI training sessions led by SMEs of diverse backgrounds, members of our cohorts felt represented and left each session empowered. The Rise Journey team offered high-touch support and exemplified TRUE partnership. By providing us with post-session data, we were able to gain valuable information to inform our training strategy and ensure that our needs were surpassed.
We look forward to working with them again.

The Rise Journey helped Skeleton Key Strategies establish a mission-critical cornerstone upon which our tiny, 3-person consulting company can build our DEIBA commitments as we grow. We hired Jes Osrow and Jessica Lambrecht to develop and facilitate a workshop for us, with the goal of integrating DEIBA into our systems, processes, and strategies.
Jes and Jessica created a safe and inclusive space to bring our team together and discuss sometimes divisive topics, bridging the personal and professional aspects of our work. They customized the workshop to fit our specific needs, goals, and the nuances of our business model, leaving us with actionable strategies to implement both internally and externally and a clear roadmap for incremental improvements in the future.
We are grateful to have worked with such thoughtful and empathetic experts, and feel well equipped to continue evolving into a more diverse and inclusive organization.
