Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Master Class Group Coaching Program for Executives, Leaders or Coaches
Come and practice showing up as an executive and leader doing powerful DEI work with a lot at stake. Practice engaging as a leader, advocate, ally or co-conspirator who’s committed to taking bold steps to change your status quo and create something new and different…despite the personal, professional and organizational transformation it may require. Get support and be part of a community of peers working towards implementing DEI in your respective organizations.
Executives, leaders and coaches leading DEI: Is this you?
Are you an executive, leader or coach (new or experienced) looking for a psychologically safe space to think through, and get some support on, DEI dilemmas you’re facing?
Has your organization made a dramatic promise or commitment to #allyship, #solidarity or #antiracism especially in the last few years and you’re wondering why it hasn’t acted on, or made changes to meet those promises or commitments?
Have you recently been promoted, hired or assigned to lead your organization’s DEI strategies and feeling overwhelmed, isolated or alone?
Do you want a creative and supportive environment to experiment and explore your thinking about, and ways of being with, DEI principles and practices?
You'll embody varied ways of thinking about, approaching and embedding DEI in ways of thinking, your team and your organization.
If you want to know why you're not creating the results you should be, when you already know what to do, this group coaching series is definitely for you.
What’s unique about this DEI group coaching program?
This is a DEI Master Class Group Coaching Program with no set curriculum. You’ll bring the DEI agenda that you want to work on and we’ll dive deep into why you don’t currently have the results or achievements you want.
The focus of this program is on embedding DEI principles and practices into your ways of thinking, how you show up as a leader to do this work, your decision-making processes, your work and your company.
Please be ready to do deep work as well as to hone your ability to do powerful work with others. Please note that your degree of effort and commitment during, and in-between each session will influence the depth of value you get from each session.
This is not a course. Ideally, you’ve had some exposure to previous DEI trainings, principles and practices. We’ll cover some foundational terms and concepts as needed.
How this group DEI coaching works
How to create psychological safety for others so they can take the risk to be seen and do deep DEI work
1:1 COACHING:
I'll coach one or more participants every week. This will be an opportunity for participants to take the initiative and explore what’s getting in their way of doing the DEI work they’d like to be doing and get support to clarify their goals and next steps.
Again, this is not a course with a set curriculum.
As we move through the series, however, we’ll likely cover some, if not all, of the following:
As there’s no set curriculum, and participants direct each session’s topics, the content will vary depending on participant needs and agendas each week. However, the coaching may include the following two practice components:
PRACTICE LAB:
You'll engage in focused coaching practice with other participants in private breakout groups as time and agenda allows.
Develop and deepen your confidence through experimenting, trying things out and learning from mistakes
Explore the rhythm of evocation and provocation in order to inspire your employees/peers/clients to creatively think about, and take action on, their DEI commitments
Practice moving towards a deeper level of being and understanding through listening and asking powerful questions related to one’s Essence, Vision, Identity, Beliefs, Values, and Capabilities
Enrolment details
This program will meet every Thursday in the month of July from, 10AM to 12PM EST, over Zoom.
Tuition is $300US/month. Partial scholarships will be available for a limited number of participants. I don’t let cost be a barrier to working with someone. This is a small cohort group and enrollment is limited to 20 participants.
You must register for the entire month to attend. We’ll be creating a safe environment for real work—and that requires the same people showing up for the full two hours, every week.
