Intentional Inquiry partners with clients and their community stakeholders to assess what is already working and what growth opportunities or innovative transformations exist. Through this collaborative, data-driven exploration process, we build momentum for meaningful and sustainable results that lead to increased health and educational equity. With every project, our intentions are clear and consistent:

​

• Care – building trust through self-awareness, appreciating our shared humanity as well as cultural differences, assuming positive intent, and communicating with integrity and compassion

​​

• Social justice and equity – examining root causes for disparities and disproportionalities to redesign services, opportunities, and supports that allow every individual and community to reach their unique potential 

 

• Strengths-based – focusing on the existing assets the individual and community aim to build upon, as opposed to just what we want to eliminate, particularly with assessment, communication, and engagement 

 

• Holistic and systemic – recognizing individuals, communities, and processes are complex, filled with histories of struggle and resilience

 

• Collaborative – engaging and honoring diverse perspectives and expertise to comprehensively understand issues and innovate equitable solutions that include the multitude of dynamics and experiences any one community or group encompasses
