The Art of Inclusive Leadership At Your Location

Grow Inclusive Leaders. Shape Everyday Culture. Choose Your Setting.

The world needs bold, inclusive leaders. Bring The Art of Inclusive Leadership directly to your organization with our Choose Your Own Location format. Whether you plan a full retreat or a local program, we bring a research informed inclusive leadership experience to your team that fits your goals, your culture, and your setting.

From senior executives to rising leaders, this inclusive leadership program meets people where they are and helps them build the skills needed now.

Why Inclusive Leadership, and Why Now?

Inclusive leadership is no longer a bonus skill. It is a core requirement for performance and retention. Consider:

  • A 2021 Gartner survey found that 75% of organizations with frontline decision making teams that reflect a diverse and 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 Diversity Wins report. Source

The data is clear. Inclusive leadership supports better business results. It also shapes daily experience at work. People expect leaders who can:

  • Create a strong sense of belonging and psychological safety
  • Handle difficult conversations about race, gender, and equity with care
  • Build a culture where people can bring more of themselves to work
  • Make fair and transparent decisions
  • Support diverse teams to solve complex problems together

Without these skills, organizations lose talent, miss strong ideas, and struggle with unhealthy dynamics. People disengage, conflicts drag on, and diverse teams never reach their potential.

Why this inclusive leadership program?

The Art of Inclusive Leadership is designed to give leaders clear mindsets, skills, and tools they can use right away. This is not a one time lecture. It is a focused experience with practice, feedback, and reflection. Participants leave with simple tools, clearer awareness, and a community of peers working on inclusive leadership in real contexts.

What is the organizational impact?

Leaders will:

  • Lead with more authenticity and resilience

  • Build high performing, psychologically safe teams

  • Navigate difficult conversations with more skill and confidence

  • Strengthen systems thinking and organizational awareness

  • Increase their positive leadership impact and influence

Organizations will:

  • Increase innovation, engagement, and retention

  • Strengthen a culture of trust, equity, and collaboration

  • Reduce silos and improve cross functional effectiveness

Choosing The Art of Inclusive Leadership is an investment in your leaders and in a healthier culture. It helps unlock leadership capacity, support better teamwork, and position your organization to compete in a changing market. Read more about the value of offsites.
