THE INCLUSION LAUNCHPAD

The INCLUSION LAUNCHPAD

Do you need to deliver a foundational DEI curriculum at your workplace, educating your teams and leaders on the importance and many benefits of a diverse and inclusive environment?
Or maybe your DEI efforts have stalled and it’s time to reinvigorate your people regarding the human and business benefits of this important work?

DEI EFFORTS OFTEN FAIL FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING:

  1. Unconscious bias was never acknowledged or addressed
  2. Barriers to creating an inclusive culture were never resolved
  3. Management didn’t take enough time to listen
  4. Employees resisted the change
  5. There were no clear goals or success indicators
  6. A rigid set of rules were applied, rather than taking a more flexible approach that considers the climate and culture of the organisation

The Inclusion Launchpad is a modular program consisting of:

  • DEI consulting and coaching sessions for your senior leaders

  • Whole company keynotes on core DEI topics

  • Leadership training and coaching to support your managers

One of the benefits to you is that instead of wasting valuable time using one vendor for consulting, another for keynotes and yet a different vendor for DEI leadership training, we work with you to co-create a seamless program with all the elements you need for lasting transformation.

The consulting and coaching aspects ensure that your senior leaders are on board and well-informed. We work to help these leaders champion and support your program’s success.

Part One:

  1. Developing Empathy & Self-Awareness

“Really reflective session to help us think about what we currently do and what we can do better to be more inclusive and empower our teams.

“Shola delivered a series of five webinars for members of the Society of Radiographers to support our commitment to creating a culture of belonging and inclusivity in the workplace. Topics included tackling unconscious bias in ourselves and others, understanding micro-aggressions and effective intervention, and mastering difficult conversations. All the events sold out and we saw a very high level of engagement from our audience during the live sessions, in response to the thought-provoking information Shola shared.”
