DEI Leadership Development
It's time to shift from business as usual to become a human-centric leader, innovator, and changemaker.
It's time for us to step up and build our leadership and organizational capacity to make an impact.
Instead of feeling empowered and ready to make an impact, you may:
- Worry about unintentionally causing harm by saying or doing the wrong thing
- Feel confused about how to bring up and address these issues one to one and in team/department meetings
- Experience frustration with the organization's lack of success, momentum, or consistent support
- Fear having their actions or words viewed as racist even though it's the furthest thing from their heart
- Wonder if others view them as complicit or not caring about these issues
- Wish they felt more prepared and confident communicating about these issues
- Feel overwhelmed trying to prioritize these issues on top of their regular workload
It's time for us to develop our leadership and make a real impact for DEI and liberation in our workplaces.
