The Breakpoint Initiative
The Breakpoint Initiative
Conscious Leadership, in fellowship with The
L.I.F.E. Group (Legacy, Insurance, and Financial
Education), is excited to present a dynamic racial
and financial equity training program.
This unique program was built and formatted to
boost company morale, increase employee
engagement, and create a greater sense of
community by exploring and analyzing our
shared history, discussing economic realities, and incorporating components of critical
awareness and implicit/explicit bias training. Our specialized areas of instruction are racial
equity, social justice, and financial wellness.
Our mission is to enrich your organizational structure with a comprehensive
curriculum that complements a healthy workplace culture. As you continue to shape,
expand, and invest in your team, we are excited to help your process! We have presented
our program in various businesses and non-profits, as well as in several churches through
our Faith and Finances ministry, and we have consulted with both start-up and well-
established companies.
Our specialized areas of instruction are racial equity, social justice, and financial
wellness. This specific training will help participants have a deeper understanding of the
concept of “micro-aggressions” and how to recognize and address them in everyday situations.
After completing this training, participants will be able to:
• Discuss Racial and Financial Equity clearly and concisely with renewed awareness
• Define the term “microaggression”
• Identify microaggressions in everyday situations
• Identify the importance of addressing microaggressions
• Learn how to avoid committing microaggressions
• Gain skills in addressing microaggressions
We have seen our various diversity, inclusion, and unconscious bias programs enrich
the perspectives of leaders, advance equity goals, and build bridges for employees to better
engage with one another. When company culture is built upon a strong foundation of racial
and financial equity, with conscious leadership at the helm, it is well-positioned to thrive.
Empathy and empowerment are our ultimate goals!

The Breakpoint Initiative
Project Scope
The Breakpoint Initiative proposes a cultural development training program. Breakpoint
will focus on systemic racism with an underlying theme of financial equity training,
specifically to bridge the gap between the current socioeconomic climate and
opportunities for community engagement. Our goal is for thoughtful reflection, along
with tough conversations about our collective humanity, to
take place alongside professional growth
and increased self-awareness. When you
build a culture that welcomes hard pauses to
reflect on racial equity, financial growth,
and social issues - the organization grows
the right way.

The Breakpoint Initiative
Awareness ~ What is the Culture?
Too often organizations want a quick fix to building a healthy culture and minimizing
toxicity. This is likened to trying to cure a patient by writing a prescription without first
understanding the patient’s underlying health condition. However, long-term wellness
requires more than just a magic pill. Organizations, and societies alike, must resist the
impulse to seek immediate relief for the symptoms, and instead focus on the disease.
Otherwise, they run the risk of a recurring ailment.
Effective training involves many levels – the most important of which is bringing
awareness to the entire organization that there already is an established culture and
exploring the impact of that culture. While most institutions already have mottos, mission
statements, and codes of conduct, it does not mean they are rooted in the psyche of their
staff or healthy for the achievement of meaningful goals. Our goal is to discuss the culture
as it stands and why there is a desire for a racial equity initiative to improve upon it.
Our Awareness presentation will build upon the following themes:
• Cultivating cultural competence
• Understanding the impact of privilege and the difference between equity,
equality, and justice
• Overview of Conscious/Unconscious bias
• Racial and Financial Equity (Defining terms and Pinpointing Problems)
• Financial Equity in Practice (Onboarding,
Recruiting, and Retention)
• Microaggressions (Overview)

Client Testimonials – we ask all participants in
our trainings to offer anonymous feedback –
check out what they have to say:
__________________________________________________________
“Breakpoint's facilitators, Jamall and TJB, not only helped us define and explore DEI
topics, but did so in ways that met us at our individual levels of understanding while
encouraging growth, conversation, and action.”
“Jamall and TJB's sessions are carefully considered and full of relevant information. At
the same time, they create a safe space for reflection and discussion. I appreciated the way
they led our team through the process of learning about the structural causes of racism,
bias, and discrimination, and beginning to figure out what to do differently as an
organization, both internally and outward-facing.”
“This was an excellent training
series and TJB and Jamall were
incredible facilitators and
trainers. They tailored a plan
based on our needs and the
participants in our group and
they came with excellent tools
and information, as well as
conversation topics and
homework. I would highly
recommend Breakpoint.”
“Thought provoking information that will lay the groundwork for future movement in our
organization.”
“The sessions provided through the Breakpoint Initiative were profound for me personally
and professionally. As a breakpoint is an interruption of a pattern, the sessions helped
change the way that I think, listen, and engage with others on the topic of racial and
financial equity in ways that will advance the conversation for change. I now feel
empowered in getting “comfortable being uncomfortable” and want to take these
discussions to another level.”
“These sessions helped me both personally and professionally grow in my understanding
of systemic racism and how it impacts myself and those around me. I feel more confident
in my ability to identify issues of systemic racism both in and out of the workplace.”

Named Insured's Endorsement attached at Certificate Inception:
DATE: 07/02/2023
By Authorized Representative:
Coverage: This certificate of insurance is not a contract of insurance. It is merely evidence of insurance provided under a
Master Policy. Covered claims are paid in accordance with the terms of the Master Policy. Coverage is provided based on
representations made on the Named Insured’s Application for Insurance. No coverage exists if the representations made on
the Named Insured’s Application for Insurance are discovered to be false. Failure to provide true and accurate responses to
any of the questions on the Application for Insurance will result in the immediate voiding of the insurance coverage issued
and/or the denial of claims asserted against the Named Insured. Coverage is in-force only if premium payments are current. A
Policy Aggregate of $50,000,000 applies under the Master Policy except with respect to those Named Insureds who are
resident of or practice in New York State. A complete copy of the policy is available at www.napa-benefits.org/nd. This
certificate of insurance does not amend, extend, or alter the coverage afforded by the insurance policy, and coverage is
subject to all of the terms, conditions and exclusions of the policy.
