Using the Six Stages Framework to Build Awareness and Take Action

You will be provided with A 7-Week Guided Reflection for Daily Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Practice.

The SSF can become a daily companion for intentional growth and systemic change. This post centres on personal and professional application of the SSF — practical, reflective, and empowering:

✨ How do we move from awareness to action? From intent to impact? ✨

Too often, conversations around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) get stuck in definitions. But real change lives in the daily practice — in the moments we pause, reflect, challenge, and choose differently.

That’s where the Six Stages Framework (SSF) becomes more than a model — it becomes a daily tool for transformation.

🌀 Each reflective station invites us to notice:

• What am I aware of today that I wasn’t yesterday?

• Where do I still feel discomfort or resistance?

• How am I using my privilege, power, or position?

• What actions align with my values and commitments?

💡 And with each stage, we can ask:

• What strategy will move me forward today — listening? Reading? Speaking up?

• What might I journal about to deepen my self-awareness?

• Who am I learning from — and who am I centring?

Whether you’re a leader, educator, parent, or simply someone who wants to show up differently — the SSF can guide your journey.

Not perfectly. Not all at once.

But intentionally. And sustainably.

📝 That’s why I’ve developed practical workbooks and reflective journals — for adults, young people, and organisations — to support movement through the stages, not just understanding of them.

Because the goal isn’t just to “do the work.”

It’s to live it. Daily. Courageously. Compassionately.
