Inclusive Leadership™

Create a culture where everyone belongs with Inclusive Leadership training.

An inclusive culture is one where differences are embraced, diverse ideas are welcomed, and everyone feels a sense of belonging. When organizations achieve their goal of creating a safe, welcoming workplace for people with diverse backgrounds, mindsets, and skillsets they achieve increased employee engagement. People feel more valued. There is less conflict due to better, more trusting relationships. There is increased innovative thinking and idea exchange, leading to improved problem-solving. Companies have an improved ability to attract and retain a diverse candidate pool, and they achieve higher overall performance.

What Participants Learn in our Inclusive Leadership™ Program: 

Inclusive Leadership™  is an interactive learning experience that gives your leaders the knowledge and communication skills they need to help foster a culture of belonging. Learners will examine their own personal identity, and increase their understanding of biases and their impact to help them develop an authentic commitment to inclusion. This dynamic, engaging program enables leaders to champion their company’s inclusion goals and create a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.

In this Signature Learning Experience, participants receive the knowledge and tools to:  

  • Understand the current landscape of corporate diversity and inclusion. 
  • Clearly articulate an authentic commitment to inclusion and why it matters to their organization. 
  • Understand the difference between individual bias and systemic discrimination, and the relationship between the two. 
  • Identify areas of their business where systemic barriers to inclusion may be present. 
  • Learn how to practice allyship without centering themselves. 
  • Practice critical inclusive communication skills such as “calling in” and responding to being “called out.” 
  • Use inclusive language.
