Why this course is exactly what you need…

When it comes to action and managing organisational change it’s usually you, the people professionals, who find yourselves at the heart of the discussion.

HR, People, and OD teams are expected to be on top of their game when it comes to conversations about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, often without having the time or resources to do their own learning on the subject first. As the people and change experts of the business, DEI strategies tend to start with you. Or the responsibility for "making it happen" somehow ends up on your to-do list, along with everything else these past few years has thrown at you.

This can be scary.

What if you say or do the wrong thing? What if something happens and you need to respond, but you have no idea how to?

This is where I can help you.

I have designed a program specifically for people professionals to help you access all the information you need to navigate conversations and make well informed decisions within your organisation. You will gain confidence on the topic of DEI, identify the challenges that are specific to your business, AND learn approaches to gain the leadership buy-in you need to create psychologically safe and inclusive cultures.
