MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTIVE COACHING

INTRODUCTION

In today’s dynamic and competitive business landscape, leadership isn’t just about overseeing operations but inspiring and empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Effective leadership isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept; it requires adaptability, empathy, and inclusivity. The DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Inclusive Leaders Group stands at the forefront of promoting these principles. This is where management and executive coaching by the Inclusive Leaders Group comes into play. In this blog, we’ll explore what management and executive coaching entails and how Inclusive Leaders Group is making a difference in this realm.

WHAT IS MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTIVE COACHING?

Management and executive coaching is a transformative process that focuses on developing leadership skills, improving decision-making abilities, and enhancing personal and professional growth. It involves a skilled coach working closely with a manager or executive to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and goals, while providing guidance and support to help them achieve peak performance.

The Role of DEI-Inclusive Leaders Group

DEI-inclusive management integrates diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into everyday leadership practices. It goes beyond just compliance and focuses on creating a workplace where all employees feel valued and can thrive.

Here are some key elements of DEI-inclusive leaders group:

Cultural Competence: DEI-inclusive leaders are culturally competent. We are aware of biases and work actively to mitigate them. We also understand and appreciate cultural differences, which enables us to build stronger, more diverse teams.

Equity: We leaders ensure that every employee has access to the same opportunities and resources, regardless of their background. We work to eliminate systemic barriers that might hinder some individuals’ advancement.

Inclusive Decision-Making: DEI-inclusive leaders actively seek input from a diverse group of employees when making decisions. We value multiple perspectives and encourage open dialogue.

Professional Development: We support the professional growth of all employees, providing training, mentorship, and opportunities for advancement, especially for underrepresented groups.

Accountability: DEI-inclusive leaders hold themselves accountable for fostering an inclusive work environment. We monitor progress, measure outcomes, and adjust strategies when necessary.

However, DEI Inclusive Leaders Groups expand this definition to encompass an organization’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Diversity: DEI-inclusive management acknowledges the importance of a diverse workforce. It encourages the recruitment, retention, and promotion of employees from various backgrounds, fostering creativity, innovation, and a broader range of perspectives within the organization.

Equity: Equity in management ensures that everyone within the organization has equal access to opportunities and resources. DEI Inclusive Leaders Groups prioritize fairness, not just in theory but in practice, by identifying and addressing systemic biases and inequalities.

Inclusion: Inclusive management goes beyond merely having a diverse workforce; it creates an environment where every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best. This fosters a culture of belonging, where everyone’s unique qualities are celebrated.

The DEI-Inclusive Leaders Group is at the forefront of revolutionizing leadership in organizations worldwide. By integrating DEI principles into management and executive coaching, this group is making strides toward more equitable and inclusive workplaces.

DEI-inclusive management and executive coaching are not just about meeting diversity quotas or ticking boxes; they are about harnessing the full potential of every individual in the organization. When leaders embrace DEI principles, they unlock innovation, creativity, and resilience within their teams, ultimately driving the organization’s success.

Conclusion

In an era where diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral to an organization’s success, DEI-inclusive management and executive coaching are critical tools for leaders. DEI-Inclusive Leaders Group is leading the way in fostering a new generation of leaders who not only manage effectively but also champion diversity, equity, and inclusion, creating workplaces where every individual can thrive. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, it’s clear that DEI-inclusive leadership is not just a choice but a necessity for sustained growth and prosperity.

Sam Gustin at The Nation:

President Trump’s suggestion last month that the tragic Potomac air crash was somehow the fault of disabled federal air traffic controllers was appalling—but it should have come as no surprise. Trump’s contempt for people with disabilities has been well documented, and it’s that animus, combined with the accelerating MAGA assault on diversity throughout the United States, that has disability rights advocates preparing to defend decades worth of hard-won protections. One month into his presidency, Trump has unleashed a government-wide attack on people with disabilities, from anti-diversity executive orders to proposed special-education rollbacks to threats to slash programs like Medicaid that are lifelines for disabled people across the country. If successful, these actions could have catastrophic consequences for millions of Americans, according to disability rights experts. “This is a crisis for the disability community, and the threat is extremely serious,” Maria Town, president and CEO of the American Association of People with Disabilities, told The Nation. “These changes have the potential to erode decades of progress that the disability community has fought tooth and nail to achieve.”

Within 48 hours of taking office, Trump signed two executive orders targeting what he called “illegal” diversity programs—commonly referred to as DEI or DEIA—in both the federal government and the private sector. Trump and his MAGA minions claim that these programs, which promote the worthy goals of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility throughout American society, discriminate against, well, them, and so they should be abolished. At a time when Elon Musk and his DOGE henchmen are racing to “delete” entire federal agencies and fire thousands of government workers, diversity programs have become a convenient target for the drastic budget reductions that Trump seeks—under the bogus guise of “waste, fraud, and abuse”—in order to cut more taxes for rich people and corporations. Hence the MAGA/DOGE crusade to demonize and scapegoat diversity programs for all kinds of calamities, from plane crashes to wildfires to train derailments. Thus far, most of the focus on Trump’s diversity rollback has been on “DEI,” but it’s the “A”—for “accessibility”—that has alarmed disability rights advocates.

“The hard-fought-for acceptance of people with disabilities in society is compromised every time Trump uses DEIA as a bogeyman for everything that’s wrong in society,” said Michael Rembis, a professor of history at the University of Buffalo and director of its Center for Disability Studies. “This purge of federal employees is in part designed to remove people who are perceived to be unproductive for both racist and ableist reasons from the federal government.”

The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990. Trump’s anti-diversity executive orders roll back more than three decades of US policy since then——including executive orders signed by Clinton, Obama, George W. Bush and Biden—aimed at bringing more people with disabilities into the federal workforce and the private sector. From hiring and job training to career development and workplace accommodation, these policies have given many disabled people new opportunities to thrive, and a new sense of dignity after generations of mistreatment in American society, from ostracization to institutionalization to forced sterilization. Those advances are now at risk, and the impacts are already being felt nationwide, as funding cuts loom for community organizations that provide crucial services and support systems for disabled people, from home modification to job coaching to transportation and personal attendant services. “We’ve heard from many organizations across the country that are having to think about cutting their staff, reducing their services, or even closing their doors,” said Town. Disability rights advocates warn that Trump’s anti-diversity executive orders are just a prelude to even more draconian attacks. For example, Trump’s avowed goal to eliminate the Department of Education could jeopardize special-education programs for roughly 7.5 million students—15 percent of the US student population. Trump’s plan to cut billions in grants issued by the National Institutes of Health threatens long-term research and development focused on life-saving—and life-improving—treatments for millions of Americans. And, of course, any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and particularly Medicaid—and let’s face it, the GOP wants to eliminate or privatize these programs altogether—will disproportionately affect millions of disabled people who rely on the programs to survive.

[...] The Trump administration’s assault on government policies and programs that benefit disabled people is not just a scheme hatched in the bowels of The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 anti-government boiler room—although it is that, too. It’s also the natural evolution of Trump’s long-standing prejudice against people with disabilities. Trump’s disdain for disabled people is well known, from mocking reporter Serge Kovaleski and insulting wounded veterans to reportedly telling a relative with a disabled son that “maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

[...] It’s no secret that Trump is obsessed with genetics, as demonstrated by his preoccupation with bloodlines and frequent comments about “good” genes, “bad” genes, “low IQ individuals,” immigrants “poisoning the blood” of America, and other bigoted remarks. In 1988, Trump famously told Oprah Winfrey that people must have “the right genes” to become rich. Since then, he has repeatedly compared his family to purebred “racehorses.” In 2020, Trump again invoked the “racehorse” theory to assure a mostly white Midwestern audience that “you have good genes in Minnesota.” And just last year, he intimated—outrageously—that immigrants commit murder because “it’s in their genes.”

[...] It’s worth noting that disabled people were among the earliest victims of the Holocaust, condemned to death by a Nazi program called Aktion T4, which involved the systematic murder of some 300,000 people in psychiatric hospitals in Germany, Austria, and elsewhere in Europe. Stramondo doesn’t expect anything remotely like that to happen in the United States, but he pointed out that sterilization and murder aren’t the only ways to advance eugenic goals. “You can practice and enforce eugenic ideologies that result in lots of people suffering and even dying just by doing something like eliminating Medicaid,” he said.

The Nation reports on Donald Trump’s attacks on DEIA polices and its impact on persons with disabilities, which goes along with his long record of ableism.

My DEI Experience

The very public cancelations of DEI programs got me thinking about my experience as the Executive Sponsor of a DEI program at a major global software company a few years ago.

There were several DEI groups (ex. LGBTQ, Pan-Asians, Blacks, etc.) and I was sponsor for the Black group. It was an enlightening experience for me and I'm proud that I helped many members secure interviews for internal positions and several were promoted.

My company's DEI program didn't have any hiring quotas, instead it was more of a networking and training opportunity for DEI members to share their experiences, learn some new skills and get exposure to sr. executives and hopefully secure the executive's support and encouragement.

As the sponsor of the DEI program, I couldn't help but acknowledge the advantages I'd enjoyed throughout my career as a tall white-guy, with similar tall white-guy professionals as family members. When graduating from Indiana University in 1989, I went to work at Price Waterhouse in St. Louis, the same office my Dad worked at when he graduated from college 25 years prior. I met all the hiring criteria (GPA, interviews etc.) and passed the CPA exam, etc. so the decision to hire me wasn't a favor to my Dad, but it certainly didn't hurt that a few of the partners knew my name and if nothing else, I didn't have imposter syndrome. My Dad had done this job and nearly everyone else doing the job looked like me as did almost everyone in sr. mgt.

My second job was with a company that employed my father-in-law. I don't think that influenced the decision to hire me, but it certainly didn't hurt. At this second company I entered the industry where I spent my career, much of it working for a guy who had attended my wedding as a guest of my in-laws. I'm confident that any of my colleagues would agree that I excelled in my various roles, but having those initial personal connections didn't hurt and there were other candidates and colleagues without the benefit of my network by birth and marriage. Through it all, I recognize that I looked like the hiring manager and the last person to have the job I was seeking.

One of the most enriching aspects of my DEI experience was gaining an understanding of how being a minority introduces an entirely new suite of uncertainties. On the rare occasion I received a less than stellar performance review or was passed over for a promotion, I never considered that my race/gender/sexual orientation might be the reason. But the conversations with my DEI colleagues confirmed that this is ALWAYS in the back of their mind, especially working for an overwhelmingly white company. Every colleague could cite examples of overt, incontrovertible racism they'd experienced (not necessarily at the company) which had made them question whether quiet racism was influencing their experience at our company. For example, was their supervisor just generally a jerk, or was the supervisor especially unpleasant to the employee because of her race, gender, etc.? If you've been on the receiving end of maltreatment, it can be difficult to be objective.

My role as the DEI sponsor was pretty straightforward. I did basic things like help critique resumes and provide interview coaching. I encouraged the candidates to overcome their imposter syndrome and apply for aspirational positions. Most importantly, I tried to be the networking resource they lacked. I sent notes and arranged brief phone calls with hiring managers to introduce the candidate. I was very careful not to inadvertently pressure the hiring manager (I know that just receiving an email from me created anxiety). I simply asked that the hiring manager/interviewer give the candidate an interview. I'm proud that my DEI group experienced above-average promotion velocity in the company.

Americans love to celebrate the 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' story and white males especially want to believe that they are self made men. DEI programs can be challenging for guys like me because it can cause introspection which is humbling. It requires a person to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe you had some help along the way or at a minimum, you didn't face the external and internal obstacles of other candidates who may have been just as smart and capable. It is humbling to admit that at the very least, you benefitted from the fact that you looked like the last person who did the job; that's why I think white males are so intent on dismantling DEI programs.

Digital Coaching Platforms: New Frontiers of Personalized Learning

In today's fast-paced, hyper-personalized world, the shift from traditional, one-size-fits-all education models to customized, technology-driven learning is accelerating. Leading this change are digital coaching platforms, transforming how individuals learn, develop, and thrive professionally and personally. These platforms combine AI, behavioral science, and coaching expertise to provide scalable, on-demand, and deeply personal development experiences. No longer just a corporate perk for senior executives, digital coaching is now accessible to learners and employees at all levels.

Digital coaching platforms like BetterUp, CoachHub, Torch, and Ezra are revolutionizing how we approach learning and development. By integrating human interaction with intelligent algorithms, these platforms offer outcome-based coaching designed to drive behavior change, improve leadership, enhance mental well-being, and enable career transitions. Personalized learning is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity in a workplace shaped by constant change, skill obsolescence, and evolving demands.

What sets these platforms apart is the powerful human-tech synergy they offer. Smart AI matches learners with the right coach based on goals, personality, and industry, while real-time dashboards and analytics help track growth and ROI. Far from replacing human coaches, technology enhances their effectiveness, allowing for dynamic feedback, continuous goal-setting, and data-informed strategies. For organizations, this means scalable impact across geographies and teams — from high-potential talent development to DEI-focused mentorship.

From Fortune 500 companies to educational institutions, industries are embracing digital coaching to empower individuals during growth, transition, or challenge. Whether helping employees avoid burnout, supporting teacher development, or guiding career shifts, these platforms bring measurable impact that goes far beyond course completion rates. They track actual behavior change, leadership growth, and personal confidence — metrics that truly matter in a results-driven world.

As the need for continuous learning and human-centered development intensifies, digital coaching platforms are not just tools — they’re strategic enablers. They reflect a future where coaching is a right, not a privilege, and where every individual has access to personalized growth. The journey toward digital-first, adaptive learning has already begun — and the organizations that embrace it will be the ones that lead with resilience and purpose.

In June, a new nonprofit, The Jewelry Edit Foundation, convened a group of industry leaders — including executives from Coach, Tiffany & Co. and Hermès — for a “Lunch With Purpose.”The agenda: support underrepresented designers through year-round programming with a heavy focus on diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as sustainability.The Jewelry Edit Foundation has its roots in a retail platform of the same name (with a similar values-driven emphasis) founded by the designer Rosena Sammi in 2020, when fashion’s promise to stand for something was at its loudest and most urgent. But in the second Trump administration, organisations that put DEI front and centre are increasingly rare, and groups with public backing from major corporations are even rarer. Sammi says the need to plow ahead now is more critical than it has ever been.“I want to be surrounded by people brave enough to take action — not stand by on the sidelines,” she said. The Jewelry Edit founder Rosena Sammi hosts a "Lunch With Purpose," attended by high-profile leaders in the fashion and jewellery industry. (Courtesy/Courtesy) Many companies that founded DEI departments and backed organisations that support minority designers and entrepreneurs have quietly – and not so quietly – dismantled those efforts in the face of a conservative backlash. Dozens of Black-owned fashion and beauty brands that benefitted from increased attention after 2020 have shuttered, starved of capital and lacking the resources to weather economic headwinds. The pressure to keep silent was on display last week, as protests erupted in California after immigration enforcement agents arrested dozens of day labourers, including garment workers. While a handful of celebrities, including singer and rapper Doechii and Kim Kardashian spoke out, few large brands did. There was certainly nothing resembling the black square campaign of 2020 — a highly visible, if much-criticised, show of solidarity that saw brands from Chanel and Gucci to Levi’s and Gap participate.Still, some of the energy sparked in 2020 hasn’t disappeared. In a few cases, it’s intensified.Felita Harris, a former Donna Karan executive who co-founded RAISEFashion in 2020 to support independent BIPOC designers, says there’s upside in staying the course. The nonprofit in May hosted its latest “master class” for emerging Black designers, this time on profitable growth, and partnered with Ferrara Manufacturing on a June 12 fundraiser to help underrepresented founders scale. Its latest grants are helping several Black-owned labels stay afloat, and alumni have landed roles at Louis Vuitton, Bloomingdale’s and other major companies.“I see the potential every day in [our master] classes — being able to make introductions, to stop the gatekeeping,” Harris said.Felita Harris, a former Donna Karan executive, co-founded RAISEFashion in 2020 and is doubling down on its mission to support BIPOC designers. (Courtesy/Courtesy) A few companies have kept up their pre-2024 approach to politics. Outdoor retailer REI and beauty brand Lush Cosmetics have recently doubled down on their DEI commitments — with Lush even using the acronym in product names and marketing. Designer Willy Chavarria in April partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union to launch Creatives for Freedom, which takes on issues like immigrant rights. So why have some brands and creatives continued to press forward when so many others have pulled back?The motivation is a combination of mission and margin — rooted in the belief that fashion can be a cultural force on issues like race, gender, and immigration, and that marginalised creatives drive the innovation and relevance the industry needs to grow with a new generation of consumers.“Our business has always been rooted in mission and values. To stray from that now — or ever — would be antithetical to who we are,” said Nicole Lacasse, senior manager of brand and customer REDI (or racial equity, diversity and inclusion) at REI. “We have seen firsthand the business results. This is right for our business.”For companies caught in the middle — eager to engage but wary of political blowback from a divided customer base — the path forward can feel murky. But it’s not impossible. And some brands say the rewards for staying the course are becoming apparent.Backlash to the BacklashThe surge in anti-DEI sentiment — from Trump’s vow to “end the tyranny” of DEI to a wave of executive orders earlier this year — has introduced real, or at least perceived, risks for fashion and beauty brands. Earlier this year, many brands determined that staying quiet was the most prudent course of action. But the anti-DEI backlash is generating its own backlash. Target — once praised for its swift response in the wake of Floyd’s murder in its home city of Minneapolis — backed off its diversity commitments within hours of Donald Trump’s inauguration. The URL that once led to a 2020 statement by chief executive Brian Cornell about “a community in pain” now returns a 404 error. Foot traffic has declined in each of the four months since Target changed its policies, according to Placer.ai. In May, Cornell told investors that year-over-year sales were down partly due to the fallout. Meanwhile, plenty of retailers have plowed ahead with their existing DEI policies, sometimes under new names, without facing a backlash from Trump or consumers. The key is to move past the 2020-era reflex to turn everything into a marketing play, experts say.Lush keeps its internal DEI work mostly under the radar, even as it renamed three of its bestselling bath bombs “diversity,” “equity” and “inclusion” in January. That’s because, while the brand is known for its activist campaigns, when it comes to its culture and workforce, “you should take care of your own house before talking about it externally,” said Amanda Lee Sipenock Fisher, the company’s head of DEI and belonging. Lush’s cheekily named soaps are a natural way “to enter the conversation with our products,” Sipenock Fisher said. But it works best when paired with substantive work behind the scenes. “When you have a DEI programme that first and foremost serves your people, you are tuning in directly to employee engagement,” Sipenock Fisher. “And we know that employee engagement is an incredible KPI. It is a driver of successful businesses.”Lush's "diversity" bath bomb. (Courtesy/Courtesy) That dual track approach is getting more challenging as the Trump administration puts corporate DEI initiatives under the microscope. “I’ve never seen this much external interest in our work,” she said. “Seeing [DEI] being threatened, rolled back, quieted — that was a moment for employees, consumers and companies to say, ‘Wait, there is backlash to the silence.’”Retailers with the most successful DEI programmes today tend to be the ones that were thinking about the topic before 2020. REI formally embedded inclusion into its business strategy nearly two decades ago, Lacasse said. Its partnerships with groups like Outdoor Afro, Black Girls RUN!, and Latino Outdoors are part of a broader strategy that includes investing in inclusive sizing, colour palettes and gender-neutral designs — products that have become some of the company’s top performers, Lacasse said.“This is really about continuity of our brand commitment, our purpose and trust building,” she said. “We do really believe that when we show up consistently over time, when we centre the voices of our communities and we make equity a shared responsibility, we can really strengthen our position as a brand.”Fashion as a Cultural ForceEven as brands face pressure to retreat, fashion’s most public-facing moments — red carpets, runways, and campaigns — remain powerful, if inconsistent, signals of inclusion. But “visibility doesn’t equal viability,” Harris pointed out. In other words, fashion has become known for splashy displays of support — like buzzy shows or red-carpet moments featuring BIPOC designers — that often fail to translate into lasting commercial success, like shelf space, wholesale deals or infrastructure investment, Harris said.The Met Gala in May offered mainstream exposure to Black creatives, with LaQuan Smith, Grace Wales Bonner, Ozwald Boateng and Sergio Hudson delivering standout red carpet moments. The spotlight on the Black dandy — a fluid term celebrating expressive, often ostentatious style — landed like a quiet protest in a politically fraught climate.Teyana Taylor, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton at the 2025 Met Gala. (Getty Images) “The Met Gala shows fashion’s power to inspire the masses,” Chavarria said in an email. “However, that must live beyond the one event and we should use that momentum to elevate voices.”The industry has repeatedly failed to turn these cultural flashes into lasting structural change — whether through sustained investment, leadership opportunities, or shelf space. With a few high-profile exceptions, including Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton and Olivier Rousteing at Balmain, designers of colour remain rare in top creative roles. These designers not only continue to be locked out of these top roles — they’re also expected to lead the charge for change, often while navigating the very systemic barriers that hinder their progress.Designer Willy Chavarria walks the runway during his Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show. (Getty Images) “I don’t want Willie [Chavarria] to be the only one who’s doing this work, and I also don’t want it to always be the person who is in the marginalised community who feels that they have to be the one doing this work,” said Jessica Weitz, national director of artist and entertainment engagement at ACLU. “There’s no question that this industry could not exist without a diverse workplace ... and a diverse group of people who are in the business of buying fashion.”Fashion’s influence — its soft power to shape culture and drive progress — has dulled, insiders say, not for lack of rhetoric, but for lack of follow-through.“Maybe the world is looking at fashion in the same way we [experience it], which is, can fashion be trusted?” said Harris. “Can it really deliver what it promises? Because how can fashion call for democracy when designers are going out of business? When there’s such a lack of Black leadership at the top?��Still, designers like Chavarria say there’s power in holding the industry accountable to the ideals it promotes.“Fashion has always been political, and now it’s becoming urgent,” Chavarria said. “It is a way to resist. Now more than ever, fashion must stand with the communities that have always used it to speak out and be heard.” Source link

Its partnerships with groups like Outdoor Afro, Black Girls RUN!, and Latino Outdoors are part of a broader strategy that includes investing in inclusive sizing, colour palettes and gender-neutral designs — products that have become some of the company’s top performers, Lacasse said.“This is really about continuity of our brand commitment, our purpose and trust building,” she said. “We do really believe that when we show up consistently over time, when we centre the voices of our communities and we make equity a shared responsibility, we can really strengthen our position as a brand.”Fashion as a Cultural ForceEven as brands face pressure to retreat, fashion’s most public-facing moments — red carpets, runways, and campaigns — remain powerful, if inconsistent, signals of inclusion. But “visibility doesn’t equal viability,” Harris pointed out. In other words, fashion has become known for splashy displays of support — like buzzy shows or red-carpet moments featuring BIPOC designers — that often fail to translate into lasting commercial success, like shelf space, wholesale deals or infrastructure investment, Harris said.The Met Gala in May offered mainstream exposure to Black creatives, with LaQuan Smith, Grace Wales Bonner, Ozwald Boateng and Sergio Hudson delivering standout red carpet moments. The spotlight on the Black dandy — a fluid term celebrating expressive, often ostentatious style — landed like a quiet protest in a politically fraught climate.Teyana Taylor, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton at the 2025 Met Gala. (Getty Images) “The Met Gala shows fashion’s power to inspire the masses,” Chavarria said in an email. “However, that must live beyond the one event and we should use that momentum to elevate voices.”The industry has repeatedly failed to turn these cultural flashes into lasting structural change — whether through sustained investment, leadership opportunities, or shelf space. With a few high-profile exceptions, including Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton and Olivier Rousteing at Balmain, designers of colour remain rare in top creative roles. These designers not only continue to be locked out of these top roles — they’re also expected to lead the charge for change, often while navigating the very systemic barriers that hinder their progress.Designer Willy Chavarria walks the runway during his Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show. (Getty Images) “I don’t want Willie [Chavarria] to be the only one who’s doing this work, and I also don’t want it to always be the person who is in the marginalised community who feels that they have to be the one doing this work,” said Jessica Weitz, national director of artist and entertainment engagement at ACLU. “There’s no question that this industry could not exist without a diverse workplace ... and a diverse group of people who are in the business of buying fashion.”Fashion’s influence — its soft power to shape culture and drive progress — has dulled, insiders say, not for lack of rhetoric, but for lack of follow-through.“Maybe the world is looking at fashion in the same way we [experience it], which is, can fashion be trusted?” said Harris. “Can it really deliver what it promises? Because how can fashion call for democracy when designers are going out of business? When there’s such a lack of Black leadership at the top?”Still, designers like Chavarria say there’s power in holding the industry accountable to the ideals it promotes.“Fashion has always been political, and now it’s becoming urgent,” Chavarria said. “It is a way to resist. Now more than ever, fashion must stand with the communities that have always used it to speak out and be heard.” Source link

Unlock Success with Career Coaching and Mentorship

In an increasingly dynamic job market, career decisions can feel overwhelming. Whether you're launching your career, navigating a transition, or climbing the corporate ladder, having expert guidance can make all the difference. That’s where career coaching comes in—a powerful tool to unlock your potential and achieve professional fulfillment.

Career coaching is more than just résumé tips and interview prep. It’s a personalized journey that helps individuals identify strengths, clarify goals, overcome challenges, and make strategic decisions. With the right coach, professionals can break through barriers, accelerate their growth, and align their careers with their true passions.

In today’s workplace, organizations and individuals alike are turning to platforms like Roots Inspire to provide mentorship, career guidance, and structured coaching programs that empower underrepresented professionals and cultivate future leaders.

What Is Career Coaching?

At its core, career coaching is a partnership between a coach and a client, designed to enhance professional performance, career satisfaction, and growth. Coaches use structured conversations, tools, and feedback to help individuals:

Gain clarity on their career path

Set achievable short- and long-term goals

Develop confidence and executive presence

Navigate career transitions or workplace challenges

Cultivate leadership and communication skills

Unlike mentoring, which is often advice-based and informal, coaching is goal-oriented, action-driven, and personalized to each individual's career stage and aspirations.

Why Career Coaching Matters

Career coaching is no longer reserved for executives or those in crisis. Professionals at all levels benefit from coaching in different ways:

Early Career Professionals: Gain direction, explore options, and build confidence.

Mid-Career Individuals: Reassess goals, navigate plateaus, and prepare for advancement.

Executives and Leaders: Improve influence, strategic thinking, and organizational impact.

A good coach acts as a sounding board, accountability partner, and motivator. More importantly, they help you take ownership of your professional journey—a skill that pays dividends long after the coaching relationship ends.

Benefits of Career Coaching

Clarity and Confidence Many professionals feel stuck because they lack clarity about what they want or how to get there. Coaching helps uncover strengths, interests, and blind spots, leading to informed and confident decisions.

Strategic Goal Setting Career goals can feel abstract without a plan. Coaches help break big dreams into achievable steps, ensuring continuous momentum and measurable progress.

Improved Communication and Personal Branding Whether it's how you talk about yourself in an interview or present ideas in a meeting, effective communication is key. Coaches help polish your message, presence, and personal brand.

Accountability and Progress Tracking Regular coaching sessions provide the structure and accountability needed to stay focused and committed, especially during transitions or challenging times.

Support Through Change From promotions to layoffs, career paths are rarely linear. Coaches help navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and reframe setbacks as opportunities.

The Role of Coaching in DEI and Career Equity

Career coaching is especially impactful in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Many professionals from underrepresented backgrounds face unique barriers—lack of access to mentors, bias, or limited exposure to leadership opportunities.

Programs like Roots Inspire address these challenges by offering tailored coaching and mentorship to ethnically diverse professionals. Through a curated digital platform, Roots Inspire connects individuals with mentors and role models from global companies, fostering professional growth and representation in leadership pipelines.

By empowering mid-career talent through structured coaching and real-time learning, Roots Inspire is bridging the gap between ambition and opportunity.

How to Choose the Right Career Coach

With so many options available, choosing the right coach is crucial. Consider these factors:

Credentials and Experience: Look for coaches with formal training, certifications, or industry experience relevant to your goals.

Coaching Style: Do you prefer a supportive approach or a direct, challenge-based style? Ask about their methods during a consultation.

Track Record: Testimonials and referrals can offer insights into a coach’s effectiveness.

Cultural Fit: A coach who understands your background or industry nuances can provide more tailored advice.

If you’re seeking a structured coaching experience with inclusive values, platforms like Roots Inspire offer vetted access to high-impact mentors and coaching tailored to diverse talent.

When Is the Right Time for Career Coaching?

There’s no “perfect” time to start career coaching—what matters is the intention. Some ideal moments include:

Considering a new job or career path

Feeling stuck or unfulfilled professionally

Preparing for a promotion or leadership role

Facing conflict or challenges in the workplace

Seeking greater purpose and alignment in your work

Career coaching turns questions into answers, confusion into clarity, and hesitation into action.

Final Thoughts

Career success isn’t just about hard work—it’s about direction, mindset, and support. Whether you're defining your goals or reaching for the next level, a career coach can help you navigate the journey with confidence and intention.

In a world where talent is abundant but guidance is scarce, career coaching offers a powerful edge. It transforms potential into performance and dreams into reality.

For those ready to take the next step, Roots Inspire is paving the way. By offering mentorship, coaching, and professional development tailored to diverse professionals, it empowers individuals to lead with purpose and thrive in their careers.

Your future begins with a conversation. Make it count—with a coach who believes in your potential and helps you turn it into action.

Oliver Willis at Daily Kos:

President Donald Trump scrapped an aviation safety committee that had been in place for more than three decades, just a few days before a deadly airplane crash at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. Officials have said they believe all passengers onboard an American Airlines jet that collided with an Army helicopter over the Potomac River were killed. D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly told reporters, “We are now at the point where we are switching from a rescue operation to a recovery operation.” Among the passengers on the jet were a group of figure skaters and their coaches on their way home from the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas. On Jan. 21, his second day in office, Trump sent a memo to members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee telling them that their membership had been eliminated. The committee made recommendations to the FAA on issues relating to travel safety. The Trump memo said the gutting of the committee was being done as part of a process of “eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that [Department of Homeland Security] activities prioritize our national security.” The committee was formed by Congress after the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people in 1988. Kara Weipz, president of Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, criticized the announcement in a statement. “Today’s action by the Trump Administration will undermine aviation security in the United States and across the globe.” As part of an ongoing effort to upend civil rights gains, Trump also issued an executive order ending diversity recruitment programs at the FAA. The order went out even though the FAA has experienced a shortage of critical air traffic controllers for years.

If you want the real reason for assigning the blame for Wednesday night’s Potomac River mid-air plane collision, Trump and Musk’s dangerous anti-DEI witch hunt that led to the scuppering of an aviation safety committee which had been set in place for more than three decades.

Drive Business Growth with a Skilled HR Strategy Consultant by Your Side

A skilled HR strategy consultant can transform your workforce into a powerful engine for growth. As businesses evolve, they require agile, forward-thinking HR strategies that align with organizational goals and drive performance. An HR strategy consultant partners with leadership to develop and implement human capital strategies that support innovation, efficiency, and scalability.

Unlike traditional HR roles focused on day-to-day operations, an HR strategy consultant brings a high-level perspective on how to align talent management with broader business objectives. They analyze your organization’s structure, culture, and workforce capabilities to design HR initiatives that boost productivity, foster engagement, and support change.

Core services include workforce planning, leadership development, succession planning, performance management system design, and change management strategies. They also facilitate organizational design, restructure teams, and implement HR technology solutions that streamline operations and enhance decision-making.

A good HR strategy is rooted in data. Consultants use metrics and analytics to identify gaps in performance, skillsets, and employee satisfaction. By leveraging this data, they build customized roadmaps that not only address immediate issues but also lay the groundwork for future success. Whether it's enhancing employer branding, reducing turnover, or integrating DEI initiatives, their strategies are both tactical and transformative.

One of the greatest benefits of hiring an HR strategy consultant is their objectivity. As external partners, they offer fresh insights, challenge assumptions, and introduce innovative practices that internal teams may overlook. They also serve as change agents during times of growth, digital transformation, or organizational restructuring—ensuring people strategies are not an afterthought but a core driver of success.

Moreover, an HR strategy consultant helps build leadership capacity within your organization. Through executive coaching, skills training, and talent assessments, they empower your leaders to inspire teams, adapt to change, and lead with confidence.

In an age where talent is a key differentiator, aligning your HR practices with your business strategy is not optional—it’s essential. A strategic approach to HR enables companies to attract top talent, retain high performers, and build a resilient, future-ready workforce.

If you’re ready to align your people strategy with your business vision, an HR strategy consultant offers the expertise and insight you need to unlock your organization’s full potential. From shaping culture to scaling operations, their guidance is the competitive edge you’ve been looking for.

How Great HR Builds Even Greater CEOs

When people think of a great CEO, they often imagine bold decisions, visionary leadership, and market disruption. What they don’t often see is the quiet force behind the scenes shaping that success: a strong, strategic HR team.

Yes, HR.

Because the truth is, behind every high-performing CEO is an HR partner who’s building the people, culture, and leadership systems that make bold ideas possible. CEOs may set the direction, but HR ensures the company has the talent, alignment, and momentum to get there.

Here’s how great HR makes good leaders even greater.

HR Keeps the CEO Grounded in Reality CEOs live in the future. They’re planning ahead, managing investors, and pushing vision. But a smart HR leader brings them back to what’s happening on the ground—what employees are thinking, what culture shifts are brewing, and what risks are quietly forming beneath the surface.

HR provides:

Honest, unfiltered feedback from across the org.

Data on engagement, retention, DEI, and morale.

Early warnings when teams are burning out or culture is cracking.

This keeps CEOs connected and credible—because you can’t lead effectively if you don’t know what’s really going on.

HR Develops the Leadership Bench CEOs can’t scale alone. They need strong leaders across every department to translate strategy into action. A great HR team identifies high-potential talent, builds development paths, and ensures leadership is not just skilled—but aligned.

That includes:

Succession planning for critical roles.

Executive coaching and 360-degree feedback.

Leadership programs tailored to your company’s values.

This gives CEOs the confidence to delegate, scale, and grow—without fear of weak links at the top.

HR Helps Shape the CEO’s Legacy Let’s face it: no CEO wants to be remembered just for quarterly numbers. They want to leave behind a company culture that lasts, a reputation as a great employer, and a team that thrives long after they’ve gone.

HR helps build that legacy by:

Codifying values and embedding them into hiring, reviews, and recognition.

Scaling a culture that outlives the founder or current CEO.

Building a reputation that attracts top talent—even after leadership changes.

In other words: HR protects the brand of the CEO—and the soul of the company.

HR Pushes Back—When It Counts Great HR doesn’t just say “yes” to the CEO. They have the courage to say, “That’s not going to work for the people,” or “Let’s rethink how we’re handling this.”

They challenge decisions that might:

Damage morale or reputation.

Compromise ethics or compliance.

Create long-term issues in pursuit of short-term wins.

A strong HR partner brings balance—and ensures the CEO doesn’t lead by ego, but by impact.

HR Orchestrates Change (So CEOs Don’t Have To Do It Alone) From reorganizations to acquisitions to cultural overhauls, change is hard—and messy. CEOs may set the change in motion, but HR is the one who turns vision into action.

That means:

Communicating transparently to teams at every level.

Supporting managers through uncertain transitions.

Managing logistics, emotions, and resistance with care.

With HR managing the human side of change, CEOs can focus on the bigger picture—knowing the team is supported and engaged.

HR Makes the CEO’s Strategy Real It’s one thing to say “We’re going to grow 3X next year.” It’s another to:

Recruit the talent.

Onboard them well.

Ensure the culture scales.

Keep the current team engaged through the chaos.

HR is the operational engine behind strategy. They translate goals into workforce plans, culture plays, and leadership capacity. Without that, even the best CEO ideas fall flat.

Final Thought: HR Isn’t the CEO’s Assistant—It’s Their Co-Pilot Too many companies treat HR like an afterthought. But the smartest CEOs know better. They treat HR as a strategic advisor, a confidante, and a key driver of leadership success.

Because when HR is strong, the entire leadership team is stronger.

So if you’re a CEO chasing growth, legacy, or impact—don’t just build a great product. Build a great HR partner.

👉 Want to be the kind of CEO who builds an iconic company culture? SapientHR helps founders and leaders scale smarter—with people-first HR strategies that drive real business growth.

How Global Executive Consulting Drives Leadership Excellence Worldwide

An absolute need in today's fast-paced and hyper-competitive world, leadership excellence has left the realm of luxury behind. Companies all over the world are increasingly looking to global executive consulting firms to assist them in developing leaders, aligning strategies, and preparing for disruptions in their industries. The charge of such firms ranges from the assessment of leadership gaps to the fine-tuning of executive capacities and preparation in general for success in the world marketplace.

What exactly is global executive consulting, and how does it lead to excellence in leadership around the globe? Let us look at this powerful industry's different ways in which it is changing the face of leadership across continents and industries.

What is Global Executive Consulting?

Global executive consulting refers to specialized advisory services that help C-suite executives, senior leaders, and high-potential talent grow in multinational companies. Some common services come under the following headings:

Executive coaching and leadership development

Strategic alignment and transformation guidance

Organizational change management

Succession planning and talent assessment

Cultural and Diversity Integration Strategies

Global executive consultants are international consultants who work with clients from all over the world, industries, and cultures to help them unlock their potential and be out on their leadership strategies with the larger organizational agenda.

The Role of Global Executive Consulting in Leadership Development

Tailored leadership development programs are one of the key ways global executive consulting enables leadership excellence. Such programs are not the one-size-fits-all training experience but are highly customized to the specific needs of individual executives along with their organizations.

Assess individual strengths and identify gaps for creating structured plans for improvement. The coaching helps leaders not only in enhanced self-awareness but also in the higher competency of leading diverse teams, managing complicated transitions, and navigating the global marketplace.

Enhancing Strategic Thinking and Vision

Strategic agility is increasingly indispensable given the dynamics of the contemporary global market. Executive consultants sharpen strategic thinking, furnishing leaders with outside perspectives, industry benchmarks, and scenario-planning facilitation. These thought partners upset assumptions while guiding leaders through the setting of organizational objectives vis-a-vis their actions.

With this broader vision, leaders can anticipate trends, adjust to market shifts, and confidently make bold calls—all characteristics of high-impact leadership.

Supporting Organizational Change and Transformation

Digital disruption characterizes today's business landscape. Likewise, economic uncertainties continue, and the world is changing in terms of workforce expectations. Global executive consulting firms are helpful in navigating organizations through such new business landscapes. They work with leadership teams to develop clear road maps for transformation at the same time, aligning them with key stakeholders and ensuring sustainable strategy implementation.

From digital transformation to post-merger integrations, such consultants walk with leaders through the initiation, clarity, and purpose without failure, change by flow at every organizational level.

Promoting Cultural Intelligence and Inclusion

Especially in team management at a global level, being a leader within a diverse environment is one of the prominent challenges. There are many who are global executive consultants in businesses and industries and have knowledge about different cultures, enabling leaders to generate cultural intelligence.

They promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) strategies by guiding organizations to create inclusive workplaces in which every voice matters. Lead with cultural intelligence to foster creativity, build great teams, and create competitive advantages in the global marketplace.

Strengthening Succession Planning and Talent Pipelines

Having a reliable personnel policy helps keep a thriving and enduring business. Through stringent selection, Global Executive Consulting charges companies to develop the next generation of leaders via talent assessment and succession planning. Besides, these firms employ appraising methods such as 360 feedback, psychometric assessments, and leadership simulations to assess readiness and potential.

Future leaders can be prepared through this continuous process so that organizations do not have to face disruptions, rotation of staff members, or stalling in momentum even during pivotal changes.

Providing a Trusted, Neutral Perspective

Very few advantages of hiring global executive consultants are understood due to their perceived irrelevance. These consultants, unlike internal advisors or board members, have a neutral standpoint and offer unbiased criticism, actual and not inhibited by any internal issues. This environment encourages executives to consider blind spots, entertain new ideas, and develop strategies without the heartache of being judged.

Such candid insights are invaluable for personal growth, leadership alignment, and organizational effectiveness.

A Global Network of Expertise

These executive consulting firms in the world operate on various continents, linked by an extensive network of industry experts and leadership resources. Whether assisting a company in entering a new market, restructuring its management team, or crisis intervention, these global consultants offer local insights based on their vast experience around the world.

This global reach ensures that leadership development initiatives are relevant, timely, and aligned with both regional nuances and global best practices.

Final Thoughts

The excellence of leadership does not happen by accident but has been created by deliberate development and intentioned alignment and support so far. Global executive consulting ensures excellence by empowering leaders to function optimally and engage in sustainable impact across organizations.

This is a highly interconnected world: When a company invests in executive consulting, it needs not only to train good leaders; the company actually builds agile, visionary, and resilient organizations able to thrive in the world. This means that a global executive consulting firm could very well be your ticket to casting the leadership potential within your organization while simultaneously strengthening your ability to achieve sustainable success across all areas of our planet from a Fortune 500 company to an unincorporated startup.
