Helping Teams Find Their Way Back to Each Other
The Equity Practice was founded in 2020 with a simple belief: the way we've been taught to work together isn't working for most of us.
Traditional business practices extract and harm. They diminish and separate us. They inspire fear, create inequity, and keep us from doing our best work—or being our full selves.
We help organizations change the shape of how they work together—moving from the triangle of top-down hierarchy and control toward the circle of human connection and shared power.
Our Approach
We specialize in helping teams navigate conflict, repair trust, and build cultures where everyone can thrive. Our work is grounded in liberatory principles, restorative practices, and the neuroscience of how humans actually work together.
​
We believe:
-
Conflict is a portal, not a problem. When navigated well, it leads to deeper trust—not less.
-
Your nervous system is a leadership tool. When leaders are regulated, their calm is contagious.
-
Systems shape behavior. Individual growth and relationship repair can't overcome broken structures.
-
Transformation is possible. We've watched teams find their way back to each other, even after significant harm.
Who We Work With
Since 2020, we've partnered with nonprofits, foundations, social enterprises, school districts, and purpose-driven businesses—organizations led by people who want to create workplaces where everyone can thrive.​
Our clients typically share one thing: the will for collective liberation. Some are actively practicing it. Some want to but haven't started. Some are curious but held back by fear. We meet people where they are.
Our
Story
The Equity Practice was co-founded in 2020 by Alli Myatt and Courtney Tungate—two practitioners who believed there had to be a better way to navigate workplace conflict than the approaches they'd seen fail again and again.
Courtney has since transitioned from the organization to pursue other work, and we remain grateful for her vision, partnership, and the foundation she helped build. The Equity Practice continues under Alli's leadership, carrying forward the mission they started together.

Alli Myatt
Founder & Lead Consultant
I'm Alli Myatt—founder of The Equity Practice and the person you'll be working with.
I started this work because I kept watching teams try everything to fix their conflicts—trainings, facilitators, new policies—and end up right back where they started. I wanted to understand why. And I wanted to help teams actually find their way through.
What I've learned: most interventions fail because they only address part of the problem. You can't fix a relationship issue with a policy change. You can't train people into trust. And you definitely can't expect teams to collaborate effectively when their leader is in chronic stress mode.
That's why I developed the PRO Framework—an approach that addresses what's happening at every level: personal regulation, relational resilience, and organizational systems. When you address all three together, change actually sticks.
I bring over two decades of experience, training in restorative practices, and a deep belief that transformation is possible—even when things feel impossible. I've worked with nonprofits, foundations, social enterprises, and purpose-driven businesses, and I've watched teams come back from the brink more times than I can count.
​
I've spent over two decades advising more than 150 teams and organizations to reimagine their work practices. I've studied organizational development, racial equity, human connection and belonging, and am certified in several restorative practices.
​
My work has been published in Harvard Business Review, and I've been featured as a speaker at SXSW and in Diversity Woman Magazine. Before founding The Equity Practice, I worked at The Bridgespan Group, Teach For America, and other mission-driven organizations.
​
I hold a Bachelor's degree from Cornell University and an MBA from the Wharton School of Business.
When I'm not helping teams navigate conflict, I'm reading, traveling, or gathered around a table with people I love, talking about things that matter.
