JSOL will prepare you to take diversity, equity, inclusion, and multiculturalism to higher levels in the spaces we influence.

Our mission is to develop leaders and human systems that counter oppression through diversity, inclusion and organizational effectiveness. JSOL Intensives is one part of living this mission as we are committed to developing inclusive leaders.

Being an inclusive leader requires a very specific set of skills that are not explicitly taught in colleges. JSOL connects theory, practice, and lived experiences so that participants understand the importance and urgency of inclusive leadership and gain the skills necessary to become a leader that can recognize, respect, and utilize the full diversity in today’s workplace, which is crucial to an organization’s relevancy and effectiveness. At JSOL, our Intensives will help you discover how to differentiate yourself from others, develop your own leadership style, and put you on the path to becoming a powerful and respected inclusive leader.

Intensives are customized to bring leaders together who share a lived experience, a cultural identity group, and/or professional roles. This allows an engaging and targeted learning environment where specific leadership challenges are explored in space that allows for meaningful connections, honesty (or vulnerability), and deeper reflection.

We keep our Intensives intentionally small (15 participants) to provide you with the most personalized experience possible. Small groups also foster a psychologically safe space to have crucial conversations about race, marginalization, and how to deal with the impact of conscious and unconscious bias. JSOL will prepare you to take diversity, inclusion, equity and multiculturalism to higher levels in the spaces we influence.

Both the in person and virtual intensives will explore:

  • Understanding Self and Leadership
  • Understanding Race, Racism, and the Workplace
  • Understanding Psychological Safety
  • Recognizing and Interrupting Gender Bias & Sexism and Conflict Resolution
  • Becoming an Inclusive Leader
