Inclusive Leadership Masterclass
A two-day immersive masterclass to move from intention to action.
Overview
Navigate to learn more:
Leaders today are being asked to do so much with so little, while the needs of our mandates, our staff, and the communities we serve are all increasingly diverse and complex. Leaders are also expected to lead differently: to engage more, to foster harmonious workplaces, to address conflicts, to be accountable to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) commitments, to be responsive when harm is caused.
Sometimes it can feel like there are few spaces to explore and build our inclusive leadership without judgment or right-wrong thinking. And with power and privilege at play in workplaces and training sessions, especially for white leaders, we are scared to do and say, in case we do and say the wrong thing. But we are in a critical moment of growing resistance and political backlash, when trusting relationships, inclusive cultures, and equitable policies in our workplaces and communities are needed more than ever.
Through dialogue and exploration of practical frameworks, real case studies, and facilitated reflection, our participants will strengthen their comfort, confidence, and ability to lead teams where people feel safe, valued, and included, and leave with concrete actions they can apply immediately.
This isn’t a diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) check box, or surface-level training.
It’s deep leadership development for those ready to transform how they lead.
Location and cost
This spring, we have three offerings to choose from:
Lunch and Learn (Cohort for everyone) | Wednesday, April 8 from 12pm - 1pm | Learn more and sign up here!
Inclusive Leadership Masterclass (Cohort for everyone) | Wednesday, May 6 and Thursday, May 7 from 9:30am - 4pm | Learn more and sign up here!
Inclusive Leadership Masterclass (Cohort for white leaders*) | Wednesday, May 13 and Thursday, May 14, 2026, 9:30am - 4pm | Learn more and sign up here!
*There are few spaces designed specifically for white leaders to ask difficult questions, examine their own racial identity, privilege, and the context of “whiteness” in the workplace, and build the skills needed to lead with integrity and care. We believe white leaders are crucial players and allies in advocating for and advancing positive change.
This Masterclass cohort for white leaders is rooted in our own individual and collective journey of RADIUS’ learnings, shared in our Designing for Equity documentary and our blog post: A story of white leaders and a racialized team doing equity work.
