Leadership Development
We offer leadership development programs for professionals who are committed to leveraging the power they hold within their professional and community spaces to foster inclusion and build equity. Our programs strengthen the skills leaders need to navigate complex systems, build trust across differences, and create workplaces and communities where everyone can thrive.
By grounding participants in history, identity, and systems‑thinking, our leadership development experiences cultivate the emotional intelligence, cultural humility, and collaborative problem‑solving required in today’s rapidly changing world. Graduates leave equipped to make informed, equity‑centered decisions that improve organizational culture, strengthen civic engagement, and expand economic opportunity.
When leaders understand how to build belonging and dismantle barriers, communities become more resilient, innovative, and economically prosperous. Inclusive leadership is not just a value—it’s a driver of long‑term community health and shared success.
Transformational Leadership: Tools for Divergent Thinking for Tomorrow’s Workforce!
Today’s changing workforce requires input and leadership from diverse perspectives. Diversity is the driver of excellence and competitive business outcomes. Originally offered through a partnership with Bellevue University, Transformational Leadership is a re-launched program now solely through Inclusive Communities that incorporates the foundations of diversity, equity, and inclusion into the skills leaders need to succeed.
The program offered in a 3-day Retreat or over the course of five monthly sessions, participants will focus on: identity and authenticity, why and how diversity contributes to business results, coaching for performance and assertive communication, retention and talent strategy, and operationalizing the value of diversity in the workforce.
LeadDIVERSITY Alumni
While we will not be accepting new Advocates we will continue to host events for LeadDIVERSITY Alumni from cohorts 1-6. If you are an Alumni of LeadDIVERSITY in Nebraska please contact info@inclusive-communities.org to update your contact information to stay in touch.
LeadDIVERSITY is our most in-depth leadership program. This program was developed in 2019 for the Midwest region through an agreement with Inclusive Communities’ Ohio National Federation of Just Communities affiliate. Over 9 months, our Advocates build a powerful network and become more inclusive leaders. These Advocates become change bearers in their workplaces that help to move professional cultures forward.
LeadDIVERSITY was born out of a recognition that diversity, equity and inclusion work must be undertaken long-term to effect real change. As our communities become more diverse, so too do our work environments. Workplaces that welcome diversity typically experience more creative problem-solving, better employee retention, and higher productivity. A long-term commitment among leaders to inclusion work helps the Midwest region attract and retain diverse talent, and creates a positive work culture for all people.
