WHAT WE PRACTICE
At LJIST we practice what we teach. We design our client relationships to embody our core teachings and our commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. We utilize innovative, collaboration-based project management tools and practice the same listening techniques we teach. We incorporate the latest research in adult learning, tapping into humanity’s playful nature to translate heavy concepts into tangible experiences using story-telling, interactive games, fun activities, and lots of color, texture, and music. We work together to design a process that truly meets your needs.
