We recently hosted a conversation between Christina Greenberg, Co-Founder of Edgility Consulting, and Chris Guest, Lean Startup Co. Advisor, about how Christina recruited to build a diverse and inclusive organization and how you can do the same.\n\nIn the conversation, they discuss:\n- The founding story of Edgility Consulting and why they decided to focus on helping youth-serving nonprofits and education organizations find, hire, and keep talent.\n- How they examined their own recruiting methods and what they could do to create an environment where all different kinds of people would want to work for them.\n- Specific plans and strategies you can implement to recruit for a diverse and inclusive staff.\n\nAnd much, much more\u2026\n\n\nChristina Greenberg is an expert in pivoting outside her comfort zone. The co-founder of Edgility Consulting has branched out, business-wise, multiple times in service of a larger vision. In her case, that vision involves supporting a diverse and inclusive industry standard. Her Oakland-based firm helps youth-serving nonprofits and education organizations find, hire, and keep talent.\n\nBefore co-founding Edgility, Greenberg worked in fundraising, policy, and nonprofit management. But she tapped into her true passion when she started recruiting in the education sector, \u201cmaking that magical connection\u201d to place someone where they\u2019d have the most impact. She spent four years working for a program that mentored and trained aspiring principals for low income communities in the Bay Area. After taking a maternity break, Greenberg returned to the workforce as a consultant. She found enough clients needed her unique expertise in education to launch a business, Redwood Circle Consulting. Five and a half years in, it was time to expand. Greenberg and a business partner, Edgility co-founder Allison Wyatt, launched their firm from opposite coasts. \n\nThey weren\u2019t sure what the company\u2019s full scope would look like from the start, says Greenberg, but they established guiding principles. They wanted to build upon their shared talents in the recruiting space. They wanted to focus on organizations for \u201cunderserved youth and families\u2014low income families, families of color, and students that were struggling for one reason or another in the school systems that we have today.\u201d And finally, they wanted a lean business with little overhead, zero drama, and high expectations for what they could accomplish. \n\nEmail us: education@leanstartup.co\nFollow Lean Startup Co. @leanstartup\nhttps://leanstartup.co/education
