Six more add-on workshops on the right and left of the circle are available to support hiring managers with all aspects of the talent development cycle:
Lead with Emotional Intelligence (this has a mini assessment built-in without having to do the full EQi assessment)
Having Difficult Conversations
Moving From Bud/Peer to Boss (from a colleague to being a boss and/or for new managers)
Building Leadership Coaching Skills (How to be a coaching leader)
Being Resilient in Midst of Growth, Uncertainty and Change

Each of the workshops are different from one another in both titles and contents. This is an entire end-to-end solution for long-term organizational impact.
Intercultural, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Coaching
At Business Knowledge Integration Inc. (BKI), we guide leaders and organizations in your intercultural, diversity, equity, and inclusion need by pairing coaching with your diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives or programs to lead to more sustainable results.
Coaching helps both minority and majority employees, including leaders, in:
Inclusive leadership effectiveness
Bias mitigation
Cultural intelligence
Inclusion by addressing diversity and cultural differences to enhance a sense of belonging to comfortably express opinions and embrace each other's uniqueness resulting in higher employee engagement and retention
Creating a psychologically safe culture for all, which is an essential part of leadership and employee engagement
The key is to embrace inclusion as “we cannot inspire others if we exclude them or disconnect from the whole. We inspire others when we reduce the circle of those we exclude and widen the circle of those we include until there is only one circle”.
Secretan, L. (2010). The spark, the flame and the torch. Inspire self. Inspire others. Inspire the world. Caledon, Ont. The Secretan Center Inc.
The need for broad, inclusive leadership and engagement is captured by “the need to interact with and manage a multitude of stakeholders spread across the globe, which means that leaders of global organizations confront a diversity of values, perspectives, and expectations. Responding effectively to this diversity requires broad knowledge about constituencies, a willingness to include different voices into the corporate dialogue and decision-making process, and the capacity to balance multiple and often competing stakeholder interests”.

Facilitation of Workshops
“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together”
- African proverb
Inclusive leadership effectiveness to affect business outcome is not a solo game, it requires a team effort for sustained results. Working effectively as a team impacts employees’ sense of belonging and engagement. We tailor group sessions to fulfill your project or program scope.
