RALEIGH —  As the name suggests, Change Agent Communications is all about bringing real change.

That’s why the Raleigh-based PR firm is launching Now Look Inward, a new consulting practice to help corporations tackle bias and racial inequality within their own organizations in a “safe, non-judgmental environment.”

“It’s one thing to post a bold statement on social media about standing against systemic racism, but it’s another thing to have a population of employees who know you don’t live that truth and have experiences that indicate otherwise,” said its founder and CEO Angela Connor.

“Now Look Inward isn’t ‘diversity training,’ where we come in and provide directives. It’s a collaboration rooted in facilitating, educating and helping companies create a continuous learning culture that drives real change from the inside out, based on where the companies are today and where they’d like to go.”

Connor has also launched a new podcast, “Now Look Inward with Angela Connor,” to coincide with the launch of the new practice and serve as a resource. It will offer “candid interviews and eye-opening insights” for corporate leaders on the journey to driving change.

Currently available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, the first podcast features a trailer and a full episode with a human resources professional discussing her experience with racial disparities in the workplace.

“I’m known for my authenticity, directness and willingness to share my experiences to help others open up and engage,” Connor added. “Unveiling truths and then addressing them isn’t an easy thing to do, but I believe I can jump-start that process and be a conduit for change.”
