Assessments and Learning Journeys

Upon starting your membership, assessment tools provide a baseline understanding of your strengths and growth areas. You'll use these to establish your goals.

From there, you can design your learning journey through our twice-monthly live group coaching and consulting calls or travel established paths through our courses and tools. You assess yourself against your goals each quarter and revise your journey accordingly.

"[Soil and Shadow's leadership development work] helped me to look at my capacity with a healthy balance of work, family, and things I love. [Their leadership learning journey] got me to be very, very specific, realizing all I do and being clear about what I can take on and what I can't. Setting some really clear boundaries to guard my time, making sure that my life is rich and full and not just overextended all the time."

"I have found a different kind of balance and capacity for dealing with challenges by participating in the [Soil and Shadow learning journeys]. I fortified skills I had put on a shelf and forgotten. I can now stand comfortably, shoulders squared, holding my space. This includes scaling my business and interpersonal/ work relationships."

YaVette Holt, BAOBOB (Bay Area Organization of Black Owned Businesses)

Let us help you take your leadership practices to the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will the "beta" experience of the membership entail?

Joining our membership now means you’ll get much more bespoke and 1:1 support than others who join down the line. If you have a question, can’t find something you’re looking for, or have poor design experience, our team will be on standby to support you. We're committed to ensuring that you get what you need. If we don’t have it in place yet in the membership, you get access to reduced consulting from our team as we build it together.

How long is my membership? What happens if I want to renew?

Your membership gives you 12 months of access to the Learning Platform. After that, you can renew monthly for $495 per month.

Is this membership per organization or per individual?

In our beta launch, we'll be focusing on organizational memberships that provide login access to multiple team members. If you're an individual interested in joining the platform, we'd also welcome you - schedule a call with us to discuss.
