Stay Ready with Christina-Mai Just and Kat Johnson

If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. That is a really important part of doing equity work. As the world undergoes significant shifts in 2025, having a stable foundation is essential. That requires strong policies, effective practices, and a deep understanding of how to institutionalize equity. Christina-Mai Just (Chief Equity Officer) and Kat Johnson (Chief of Staff) of Utah's Promise, who are also Standpoint Consulting's clients, have successfully navigated these challenges through alignment services and executive leadership team coaching. In this episode, they discuss how their years of equity work have prepared them for today’s disruptions in the U.S. They share practical strategies for embedding equity within systems and structures, demonstrating how this approach drives both organizational success and societal impact. Through real-world examples from various departments, they also highlight how equity is not just an initiative but a fundamental aspect of organizational culture and operations.
