Session Description

The role of today’s leaders and managers has expanded far beyond strategy and operations. They are now being called to serve as change agents and allies in the Antiracism, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (ADEI) movement. Why? Stakeholders are demanding that the organizations who represent them honor their beginnings, histories and realities. And the global community is asking that organization leaders bring a clear vision, broad world perspective and sense of collective responsibility to the social problems they are helping to solve.

In this introductory session, Executive Coach and Facilitator joins organizations to explore ways they can sharpen their ADEI lens and transform their cultures and leadership practices. Using basic ADEI principles and tools is the first step to strengthening relationships with colleagues and positively influencing strategy, decision making and client engagement.
