MEET YOUR GUIDE AND FACILITATOR
For over 15 years, I’ve mentored and supported the development of under-represented talent in teams and organisations.
It’s become clear, increasing the confidence of under-represented talent is not sufficient to move the needle on diversity and inclusion.
Under-represented talent need the support of people in positions of influence, to provide them with the visability and voice which enables their valuable ‘culture-add’ contributions to be seen, heard and appreciated.
Under-represented talent do not need ‘fixing’. They need Active Allies who challenge the status quo and provide them with mentorship and sponsorship to rise to positions of impact.
I LEAD Consulting in the Media
-
Institute of Managers and Leaders
“Culture Add” rather than the traditional [concept of] “Culture Fit”… offers tremendous opportunity to literally add assets, we would have previously (unconsciously) dismissed. It’s a mindset ‘flip’ – but once your eyes are open to its potential value, you become aware of a world of opportunity you’ve previously failed to recognise.”
-
Director Institute
“Leaders and managers who overcome their natural “Diversity Discomfort” and effectively leverage their inherent advantage, will deliver “Diversity Dividends” in the form of top quartile innovation and business performance”
-
Australian Human Resource Institute
“Psychological Enrichment is the outcome of equal and consistent:
• Collective Leadership
• Inclusive Cultures
• Diverse Teams
• Business Performance
• Human Performance”
