The importance of bridging

Professor John Powell

Bridging is so important because only bridging can heal a world of breaking, which is the dominant practice and discourse today. Breaking not only feeds off broad-scale social changes and polarization, it also propels them.

By imagining together, we can use bridges to hear the other and help construct a larger more inclusive “we” where no group dominates or is left out.

What our clients are saying

  • Longbridge Collective has holistically assisted our Department in assessing our needs to enhance inclusivity and belonging among all faculty and staff. Through their guidance, we have developed a strategic roadmap, mission, vision and playbook to achieve our DEIB goals for the next several years. The consultative support and coaching provided by Longbridge Collective has been essential to our early successes.

  • I worked with a superbly gifted executive coach from Longbridge for approximately 18 months. Over the course of our engagement, the coach helped me both lean into my strengths as a leader and identify ways I could continue to grow. Her facility with diagnostic tools like the LPI, and her encyclopedic knowledge of the latest advances in leadership and DEIJ thinking, further supported my quest for excellence. My reports on my company’s Management Team expressed appreciation for the transparent way (thanks to my coach’s advice) in which I shared my leadership journey and applauded my progress. She has a unique talent for helping clients convey their convictions and visions persuasively, and I credit her with dramatic improvement in both how I make my case for strategic imperatives, and in the quality of the feedback I provide to colleagues and other collaborators. She’s a straight shooter who won’t shy away from uncomfortable truths, and her clients—and their organizations—invariably benefit from her integrity and authenticity in profound ways.

  • I have partnered with the Longbridge team for over 8 years on all of our leadership and management development needs and they are a pleasure to work with! They have collaborated on customized content solutions to meet our evolving needs and helped us grow leadership capability across the business. Most recently they provided relevant, engaging content and first-class facilitation for our manufacturing leaders. Many of the participants have said, “this learning experience was the best investment of my time as a leader”. As our business continues to grow in a complex world, Longbridge remains our “go to” partner as they go above and beyond for us with every engagement.

  • The Longbridge Collective has been a fantastic partner for our organization. They have supported us in a number of ways, including DEI training, organizational assessment, executive leadership development, and mediation/facilitation for difficult situations. Their principals and collaborators are uniformly strong, and all bring a great balance of compassion/understanding along with the ability to “push” as needed. Overall, we feel like we have a strong and empathetic partner who is equally committed to our organization’s success.
