Working into right relationship takes a team. Ours practices what it preaches.
Founder, Lead Coach, and Trainer Sarah Brown directs all Into Right Relationship initiatives and works collaboratively with a team of trusted colleagues to keep the practice of relationship at the center. Together, Sarah and the team demonstrate what’s possible when you create and innovate in right relationship. In addition to modeling how collaboration across diversity and difference supports better outcomes for everyone, the Into Right Relationship team makes clear that a relational approach is not only the right choice, but the most fun.
