Flexible, Accessible, and Transformative: The Art of Inclusive Leadership Online Program

This program will be held online starting in January 2025
Limited Spots Available!

For leaders seeking to build critical inclusive leadership skills without the time commitment of a full-week offsite, we offer The Art of Inclusive Leadership in a convenient online format. This 12-week program delivers the same cutting-edge content, expert facilitation, and immersive learning experiences as our in-person retreat, redesigned for maximum impact in a virtual setting.

The Power of Sustained Learning and Practice

While our offsite program offers an intensive, transformative experience, we recognize that deep learning and behavior change happen through consistent practice and reflection over time. Our online program is designed to provide that sustained learning journey, with:

• Weekly 2-Hour Live Sessions: Engage in interactive workshops, discussions, and exercises with a diverse cohort of leaders, all from the comfort of your home or office.
• Self-Paced Learning Modules: Deepen your understanding and practice new skills between sessions with engaging videos, case studies, assessments, and reflection prompts.
• Ongoing Coaching and Feedback: Receive personalized coaching and feedback from our expert facilitators throughout the program, ensuring you get the support you need to apply your learning in real-time.
• Peer Learning and Accountability: Connect with a peer learning partner for regular check-ins, practice sessions, and accountability. Leverage the collective wisdom and support of the cohort through online discussion forums.
• Capstone Project and Action Plan: Integrate your learning and drive meaningful change in your organization through a capstone project and personal leadership action plan.

A Flexible Format for Busy Leaders

We understand that blocking out a full week for an offsite program can be challenging for many leaders. Our online format offers the flexibility to engage in transformative learning while balancing work and personal commitments. The 12-week program design allows you to:

• Participate from anywhere in the world with a stable internet connection
• Minimize time away from work and family
• Immediately apply new skills and frameworks in your day-to-day leadership
• Access learning materials and recordings on-demand to accommodate your schedule

Same Transformative Curriculum, Optimized for Online Learning

While the delivery format may be different, you can expect the same holistic, experiential curriculum as our in-person program, carefully adapted for online engagement. Through a blend of live sessions, self-paced work, and peer learning, you'll develop the same key inclusive leadership competencies:

• Examining biases and building self-awareness
• Navigating difficult conversations with courage and empathy
• Creating psychological safety and fostering belonging
• Empowering diverse voices and making equitable decisions
• Driving systemic change and building inclusive cultures

Expand Access and Build Collective Leadership Capacity Across the Organization

Offering an online format of The Art of Inclusive Leadership allows organizations to scale their inclusive leadership development efforts. With a lower per-person cost and reduced time away from work, companies can:

• Expand access to a broader pool of high-potential leaders
• Build a collective language and toolkit for inclusive leadership
• Create a ripple effect of culture change as participants cascade their learning
• Provide a flexible, ongoing solution to complement in-person programs

The world is changing rapidly, and the old models of leadership no longer suffice. Whether you choose our in-person or online program, The Art of Inclusive Leadership offers a transformative journey to build the mindsets and skills needed to lead inclusively and drive results. At a fraction of the time and cost of our offsite program, the online format makes this critical development opportunity more accessible than ever.

Why Inclusive Leadership Skills Are More Critical Than Ever

In a world reshaped by the pandemic, economic uncertainty, and urgent calls for social justice, inclusive leadership has moved from a nice-to-have to an absolute necessity. Consider these eye-opening facts:

• A 2021 Gartner survey found that 75% of organizations with frontline decision-making teams reflecting a diverse, inclusive culture will exceed their financial targets. (Source)
• Companies in the top quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity on executive teams outperformed those in the fourth quartile by 36% in profitability, according to McKinsey's 2021 Diversity Wins report. (Source)
• A recent Accenture study found that a culture of equality and inclusion can drive up to 8% higher revenue and twice the innovation output. (Source)

The data is clear: inclusive leadership is a key driver of business performance. But the stakes are even higher than the bottom line. In a post-pandemic world, employees are expecting more from their organizations. They're looking for leaders who can:

• Foster a deep sense of belonging and psychological safety
• Navigate difficult conversations around race, gender, and equity
• Create a culture where everyone can bring their full selves to work
• Make fair and equitable decisions in a transparent way
• Empower diverse teams to innovate and solve complex problems

Without these critical skills, organizations risk losing top talent, missing out on game-changing ideas, and being left behind in an increasingly diverse marketplace. And in far too many cases, lack of inclusive leadership leads to toxic work environments marked by turnover, conflict, and missed opportunities.
