Rise to the Challenge

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) practitioners often face significant challenges that can make it difficult to plan and implement effective DE&I programs. These challenges can include:

  • Limited time for content creation, facilitation, etc.
  • Limited organizational resources (e.g., budget cuts)
  • Changing organizational priorities and circumstances (e.g., leadership changes)
  • Changing political and social landscape
  • Difficulty navigating organizational hierarchies and structures
  • High (and sometimes unrealistic) expectations
  • Stakeholder resistance (e.g., employees, leadership, etc.)

Overcome these challenges with our 6-month certificate program.Get access to thought leaders, authors, multidisciplinary instructors, and consultants. Plus, access to our professional development platform for a year!
