SUPPORTING WOMEN AND DIVERSITY INITIATIVES

Imagine if you could say, “as part of our women and diversity efforts, we are empowering hundreds of women and minorities with the entrepreneurial and business skills they need to realize their potential or live more fulfilling lives.”

For decades, women and minorities have been underrepresented in shaping and growing progressive organizations.  Most organizations are faced with:

• Difficulty moving women or diversity initiatives as quickly as markets or leadership desires

• Multi-year efforts required to advance these initiatives internally, given the past

• Desire to empower these groups in a meaningful way in addition to career advancement and leadership inclusion

• Need to supplement internal efforts with external efforts, so that initiatives can be driven in a multi-dimensional manner and advance quickly

• Finding relevant, reliable and scalable resources that can empower these efforts efficiently and at scale

• Delivering on these initiatives consistent with corporate values and processes

• Aligning efforts with the expectations of the organization’s markets and customers

• Turning the public perception of these efforts from a defensive to a progressive approach

• Enhancing both organizational brand and talent initiatives

• Connecting these efforts to authentic employee engagement

Entrepreneurial skills are no longer just “nice to have.” They are skills that each of us must have to succeed in a hypercompetitive world.  What better way to empower these groups than with skills they need to realize their potential, advance their careers and live more fulfilling lives?
