Support Senior Leaders Set the Tone for Inclusion
While DEI policies are essential drivers to advance equity-centered initiatives, research informs us that it mostly comes down to the leader.
What leaders say and do makes up to a 70% difference if an individual feels included.
Simply putting a diverse mix together does not guarantee success. Diversity will only lead to better results if it is skillfully managed in an inclusive way and with a lens to equity. Leaders at any level can spark change and take action to create a culture of belonging by increasing cultural intelligence.
The Inclusive Leadership Kick Starter Program
provides a road map for senior and executive leaders to take meaningful steps in building cultures where everyone feels a sense of belonging. It offers a courageous and compassionate method to focus on what leaders can do to drive engagement and set the tone for inclusion.
Includes:
Validated assessment tool to evaluate how each leader “shows up” when faced with cultural differences and similarities, followed-up by group interpretation session.
Personalized and confidential sessions with coaches that specialize in leading diversity, equity, and inclusion as a change strategy.
Inclusive Leadership Accountability Toolkit & Action Plan that provides practical actions mapped to their profile results that can be applied immediately.
Maximizing Impact of the DEI Leader and Champion
There has been a sharp increase in the number of organizations that have hired or appointed leaders charged with developing diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) strategies to address the need for longer-term, sustainable solutions. Often the role falls within Human Resources (HR) and are required to define new roles. Understandably, they frequently have limited or no team resources to support their objectives. Another complexity is that in many organizations, HR is not a member of the C-suite and are asked to drive DEI change from the middle.
Executive Coaching for DEI Leaders
offers a targeted approach to maximize the impact of DEI Leaders as they take on solving complex, first-of-their-kind challenges. Starts from where the leader is and where they hope to go as they take on the important role of driving DEI change for the organization.
Includes:
Developmental, strengths-based approach that incorporates assessments, learning resources, and accountability tools.
Paired with a thought partner, advisor and coach that specializes in leading diversity, equity, and inclusion as a change strategy.
Confidential, thought-provoking, and results-driven process to support effectiveness in driving toward diversity, equity, inclusion goals.
