unlock your leadership potential as a woman of color
Dismantle the glass ceiling and the cement wall with leadership coaching tailored to women of color. As a Black woman, I understand the unique challenges faced in the workplace and am here to support you in breaking down barriers and reaching new heights in your career.
In today's workforce, companies are striving to attract talented Black women, yet many are still falling through the cracks. It's time to change that. With purposeful and impactful coaching, I empower women of color to unleash their full potential and unleash growth for themselves and their businesses.
RETAINING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION: THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL CORPORATION
Attracting diverse talent is just the beginning. Keep them thriving with our DE&I coaching and advisory services.
Don't let diversity become just a buzzword for your company. A recent study by the Society of Human Resources Management estimated a loss of over $170 billion for U.S. Corporations due to racial inequity in the workplace. Don't let your company be a part of that statistic. With over a third of Black professionals intending to leave their current companies in just two years, it's crucial that your company provides an inclusive environment that supports and retains diverse talent.
As a former C-suite minority leader, I understand the challenges diverse talent faces in corporate America. I work with C-suite leaders to create an inclusive environment and support high-potential diverse employees as they navigate their careers within your company. Let's work together to retain diverse talent and drive success for both your employees and your business.
Purposeful leadership
Purposeful leaders are inclusive leaders. And, inclusive leadership skills are more critical than ever
Linkage’s Purposeful Leadership 360 Assessment is designed to measure an individual leader’s effectiveness and inclusiveness across five core commitments that all leaders make to their stakeholders: Inspire, Engage, Innovate, Achieve and Become. These commitments represent why we have leaders, the promise of what leaders deliver, and a framework for where to direct our attention as leaders. Each commitment is supported by specific practices and leadership skills designed to support positive leadership journeys.
Who is it for? Organizations and individuals looking to assess the leadership effectiveness of leaders at all levels while also gaining critical insight into whether their leaders are leading inclusively and employing strategies to make it happen. Let’s do this!
