Emerge to Thrive
The EDI Leadership Course for Inclusive Leaders
01
What Is Emerge To Thrive?
Emerge to Thrive is a course and space for EDI leaders to explore how to achieve successful EDI outcomes in their organisation, learn how to effectively lead for change and grow as an individual leader.
​
It is designed to ensure participants are able to thrive in their role not simply survive, and takes participants on a journey where by the end they feel more confident, empowered, educated and most importantly, supported to bring renewed energy and focus back into their organisations.
02
Why This Course?
More and more organisations are appointing individuals to take the lead on Equity or Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) to help shape, lead on and oversee the work of their organisation in achieving their EDI goals. The role often emerges out of a specific need, incident or event, or awareness that more needs to be done to affect sustainable, positive change for stakeholders in EDI.
​
But what is required to do this is a big task which involves not only awareness raising, educating others and dealing with challenging conversations and situations, but the ability to manage change and navigate power dynamics all while building and maintaining an inclusive culture for all.
For some EDI leaders, the infrastructure and support is not there to ensure the work has clear outcomes, is sustainable and continues to be resourced. If this is you, you know only too well how challenging this can be!
03
Who Is This Course For?
The course is designed for you if you are leading on EDI, Diversity and/or Inclusion in some capacity. You may be a senior leader of your organisation, part of the leadership team, a champion or middle leader.
​
It is designed for individuals new to the role and unsure where to start or how to move the needle of change. It is also for those who are established in a role and are perhaps stuck in a stage of inactivity, need to inject some momentum or simply want some guidance, support and fresh ideas.
04
What Does The Course Entail?
This online course is a series of creative masterclasses and interactive workshops which explores the role of an EDI leader through 2 lenses. The Individual (INNER) lens and the organisational (OUTER) lens.
​
There are 3 modules and each module focuses on specific learning outcomes. Participants will be provided with guided learning and resources and have access to recordings, resources, workshops, group activities and 1:1 coaching.
​​
An important part of the course is the Emerge to Thrive network. Community is powerful as all too often, individuals are leading the charge alone. The network/community is a chance to learn from others and lives on beyond the end of the course, an invaluable resource in itself.
​
The course culminates in defined actions to take forward that make the most of each person's personal power for change.
