“My goal is to help people make the most of opportunities to grow, inspire and work effectively together.”

Program Overview
 
The promise of diversity to enrich both the enjoyment of work and its productivity is clear. The process for realizing that promise is not. Delivered live online, UCLA’s Inclusive Leadership Program equips leaders with the evidence-based insights they will need to design effective processes for the equitable, diverse, and inclusive workforces modern work requires.

Key program frameworks

The program is designed for leaders who wish to activate the following frameworks in their individual practice and organizational culture.

Equity

All members of the organization receive equal access to all opportunities and privileges afforded by the organization, assured of procedural fairness across protected identity groups.

Diversity

All members of the organization expose one another to the fullest possible variety of human identities, experiences, values, and worldviews.

Inclusion

Beyond mere tolerance, all members of the organization afford one another a sense of appreciation, belonging, and respect.
