Leadership

Transformative 

Transform your leadership practice through a three-part, 12-hour series designed to strengthen self-awareness, build inclusive teams, and navigate conflict with clarity and confidence. Optional one-on-one Executive Coaching is available for deeper integration and growth.

Transformative Leadership includes the following modules:

  • Leadership Development is self-development.  Given that we lead based on who we are and our racial context (Rogers-Ard, 2020), this module focuses on understanding who we are as leaders and our personal impact". (6 hours)

  • "Organizations are made up of people in smaller groups; to be effective, each business unit needs to understand the difference between being a working group and being a team. Using Lencioni (2002) and Brown (2018), this module offers tangible strategies for leaders to shift from groups to teams.  Opportunities for additional work within teams are available. (3 hours)

  • Conflict is a natural part of life, but can derail productivity and effectiveness.  This module offers concrete steps for leaders to mitigate and resolve disputes that sow discord. Opportunities for additional work within teams is available. (3 hours)

  • Participants can access individualized coaching after completing the series to further apply concepts to real-world leadership scenarios.

Leadership

Innovative

This 6-part professional learning series invites you to explore historical and contemporary social systems, reflect critically on identity and power, and develop tools to help you foster more inclusive, equity-aligned spaces.

Each 2-hour session is a complete learning experience on its own and can be taken individually or as part of the full series, whatever fits your leadership journey best.

  • It is imperative that organizations develop shared language towards building healthy conversational tools; what we cannot discuss, we cannot shift. This module focuses on definitions and offers ways to use inclusive language designed to create safe, effective workplaces

  • Understanding and building social-emotional skills is key to offering inclusive workplaces. This module helps to increase awareness, relationships, and social skills across multiple differences and creates a foundation for effective organizational culture.

  • Based on Wilkerson's seminal work (2020), this module requires two sessions to help understand the fragmentation of the United States' caste system.  After understanding, these two modules offer concrete strategies to create safe, inclusive workplaces in the midst of turmoil.

  • In an effort to understand terms that threaten to divide, this module focuses on understanding CRT and its impact on educational systems. We present factual information, then ask participants to grapple with these concepts against the backdrop of their organization's culture.

  • Unlike other training sessions, we offer space for leaders and participants to create a plan of action - both personal and organizational - to use what has been learned towards making actionable shifts.  Participants will share their next steps within the group to ensure accountability and build community

In Their Own Words

  • This course was everything. I didn't know what to expect but it was so enlightening and I learned so much about being a leader and finding purpose.

    -Participant, Leading Across Differences Session

  • "This course with Dr. Rachelle Rogers-Ard far exceeded my expectations. The material was communicated in a way that was easy to grasp and even though these topics can be huge it was digestible in a way that could hit and make sense. I left with so much knowledge and key tools to navigate anti-racism and differences and how that impacts leadership. Ultimately the difference between leadership and managing."

    -Participant, Leading Across Differences Session

  • "Dr. Rachelle is an exceptional trainer/presenter. She brings so much expertise and knowledge and presents in a way that is engaging and fun. I appreciated her humor and vulnerability. Really one of the best trainings I've been to in a LONG time."

    -Participant, Leading Across Differences Session

  • "This session absolutely exceeded my expectations! I have been looking for training and professional development that will allow me to take my knowledge and theoretical understanding of white supremacy culture and put it into action in my work. I am so excited to continue this leadership cohort and build towards full integration of these principles into my work. THANK YOU for this fabulous opportunity!"

    - Participant, Authentic Antiracist Leadership Training

  • "This training exceeded my expectations. If I could continuously use the reaction buttons during the zoom session I probably would have, although that would have been distracting. I was completely engaged and want to take any and all courses offered by Dr. Rodgers-Ard. The information is presented in a way that is consumable and even challenging topics have the space to be processed. There are clear definitions provided so we can all start on the same page and it helps to set the tone for expectations. I enjoyed the break out sessions and the journal topics. I would recommend this course to my peers and to my leadership."

    -Participant, Leading Across Differences Session

  • "Fantastic class. Very thought provoking and I left with much to feast on. Good dynamics and flow in the teaching of the class, appreciated the humor in additional to the knowledge. The prompts strong and will hopefully set up foundations for growth. Looking forward to all of the remaining sessions. "
