Client Spotlight

TD is committed to building an inclusive and supportive work environment that fosters learning, growth, and development for all employees. With various initiatives already in place promoting inclusion and belonging, they aimed to design a leadership development experience tailored specifically for Black, Indigenous, and visible minority leaders and their allies. Additionally, TD wanted to evaluate how community-specific learning environments contribute to employee learning, a sense of belonging, and confidence in taking on new leadership roles. This assessment would guide future investments in similar programs, ensuring effective and impactful development opportunities for these communities.

The Humphrey Group's Inspiring Leaders program is a purpose-built space for Black, Indigenous, and visible minority leaders and their allies to share their unique challenges, learn from each others’ experiences, and build essential leadership communication skills. We were thrilled to partner with TD to implement this program and measure its effectiveness. Collaborating closely with their Black Experience, Indigenous Peoples, and TD Multicultural Network Executive Steering Committee, we delivered the program to 28 employees across North America. Participants were organized into three cohorts of 8-10 learners each, participating in asynchronous learning, weekly live workshops, and one-on-one coaching sessions. This structure provided ample opportunities to network, receive personalized feedback, and practice their newly acquired skills in a supportive environment. In addition to Inspiring Leaders, participants also engaged in a capstone project where they were given the chance to apply their learning and identify opportunities and recommendations for TD to continue to build a diverse and inclusive culture.
