Today's global marketplace has caused the borders between countries to function in a fluid manner. To that end, the dimensions of diversity have moved beyond race and gender and now include many identifiers that are both visible and invisible to the naked eye including, but not limited to, religion, education, family status, sexual orientation, and culture. In order to effectively respond to the needs of their diverse audience, leaders must demonstrate inclusive behavior in a manner that is easily recognizable by anyone who is exposed to them. I want to ensure leaders are equipped to respond to the marketplace and understand how to leverage diversity and advance inclusion. #InclusionMovement

An effective leader must first know how to be a follower. This workshop equips participants with various strategies they can leverage to build or strengthen their leadership behavior.

Leaders are faced with many challenges today. As the marketplace expands and our borders become more fluid, leaders must ensure their organizations maintain a competitive edge while effectively leading a diverse workforce. While there are different types of diversity, there are key leadership competencies that are necessary for success as leaders try to take their organizations to the next level. This session will teach you about the critical skills and techniques a global leader needs – particularly when it comes to leading multicultural women. The session demonstrates how global leadership impacts the individual, the team, and the organization as a whole. After teaching the importance of these skills, the facilitator will engage audience with small group exercises where they are given challenges that require small group discussion in order to develop a solution. This allows the facilitator to gauge the depth of audience's understanding and ability to apply skills that were taught.
