An emphasis on increasing awareness and diversity trainings in corporations has grown over the last 20 years. Data collected by InStride shows there are eight main types of diversity training that companies implement, choosing a few tactical areas to focus on as required, such as cultural sensitivity, common ground and accommodations. Our series of transformational trainings go beyond these surface-level tactics, taking into account the audience and sphere of influence within the organization. Each are customized to fit your company culture and any emerging needs you may have. Our most popular modules for corporate leaders are Risky Business, Pride & Privilege, and Bridging the Gap.

FACT: Ethnically and gender-diverse leadership teams are 36% more likely to experience above-average profitability.

If you’re fortunate enough to already have a diverse leadership team, imagine what giving them focused time to harness their collective experience could mean for your culture. And if you’re still working on diversifying the ranks, having space to explore what that requires is important. Our workshops offer leadership teams the opportunity to learn alongside one another, with clear outcomes aligned to your organization’s DEIB goals. Popular workshop topics include: Unmute Me – Listening as Leaders and Learners; Say What?! The Art of Facilitating Uncomfortable Conversations.

There is always a vision that serves as a North Star for any strategic endeavor, but with DEI, ESGs and KPIs....OH MY! It’s a balancing act for corporate culture to be in harmony with new strategy, especially when it’s related to DEIB, however balance is critical. The cost-based lens of traditional strategic planning provide predictability and control, but limit cultural transformation, often resulting in the same old strategy with a few new buzz words. Our approach is grounded in collaborative conversations rather than rigid planning, facilitating discussions with leadership teams that normalize challenging the status quo and embrace discomfort and imperfection. The result — a strategic roadmap good for your culture and your KPIs.
