Leading with Impact: Bridging Differences, Creating Change
Through years of consulting, coaching, and training, I’ve seen firsthand that when leaders embrace equity and inclusion in their work, it ripples into every facet of their lives.
While not everyone in corporate America can dismantle systemic oppression, each person—regardless of role—has the power to listen, empathize, and lead with kindness. My work begins by meeting people where they are and helping organizations equip their leaders and employees with tools that transform their culture, leadership, and organizations.
Based on both professional and academic experience, I’ve found that lasting change requires these three essential steps:
1. Reflect on your identities.
The identities we hold shape how we see the world, how we make decisions, and how we interact with others. They are formed by our experiences, mental models, emotions, and self-perceptions—guiding our choices, biases, and behaviors.
Bringing our identities into consciousness is essential. We all navigate and construct the world through our own unique lenses. By understanding this, we create space for deeper self-awareness, empathy, and more meaningful connections with those around us.
2. Be courageous, empower strengths, amplify voices.
Every employee brings unique strengths and experiences to the workplace. Through interactive workshops, Equision empowers leaders and employees to leverage their talents, amplify their voices, and create truly inclusive organizations—where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
3. Build inclusive leadership capabilities.
An organization is a shadow of its leaders. When you build inclusive leadership capabilities, you build an inclusive organization.
Inclusive leaders influence every aspect of the business—from reshaping talent and performance management policies to making financial decisions that expand opportunities in underserved communities. No matter the challenge, Equision leverages evidence-based research to help organizations identify and close equity and inclusion gaps, ensuring a workplace culture that benefits both employees and the bottom line.
