The Leadership Landscape is Shifting Whilst delivering a leadership training yesterday to a group of incredible leaders from different sectors and organisations, I was asked about Gen Z. We discussed Gen Z’s workplace expectations and needs regarding wellbeing and engagement and how these differ from other generations. For Gen Z, wellbeing and engagement at work are closely linked to the leadership qualities of their manager. Effective, empathic communication — set to the right cadence — is important for all employees, but for Gen Z, it can be the deciding factor between resignation and retention. This is why communication is one of the primary qualities Gen Z employees seek in their managers, alongside care, support, and trust. Moreover, the majority of Gen Zers expect mentorship from their managers in addition to clear communication. In contrast, only about half of Millennial employees share this expectation. It's clear that for Gen Z, effective communication isn't just a preference; it's a necessity for their engagement and retention. #YouOnlyHaveToAsk! #GenZ #Talentmanagement #leadershipdevelopment

If one of your 2024 resolutions is about leadership, showing up for others, or showing up for yourself, I really recommend seizing this opportunity to learn from Maylis Djikalou and Xavier Garcia-Weibel. What can you expect from the Inclusive Leadership in the Workplace course? "In a time of polarization, the role of a leader in a business context is to create and hold spaces for often complex conversations. When identities are being either claimed or discriminated against and when Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) can be perceived as a new fad used by businesses to be compliant, it is the role of leaders to take a stand for inclusivity for the sake of richness, transformation and business performance."

From Familiar Patterns to Inclusive Leadership: Embracing Diversity While waiting for the red light to turn green on my way to the office this morning, I noticed a cluster of predominantly white vehicles around me, including my own. It made me reflect about how we often stick to familiar patterns and how important it is to embrace diversity in our lives. Over the years, I’ve come to understand the profound importance of diversity and breaking away from these comfort zones. Embracing different perspectives and experiences not only drives innovation but also fosters a sense of belonging and inclusivity. Inclusive leadership plays a crucial role in this process. I have been fortunate to work with many inclusive leaders who have demonstrated the value of fostering diverse perspectives. Some of my best workplace decisions have come when I’ve been challenged by views that didn’t come naturally to me. It is imperative for organizations that these perspectives are heard and valued, allowing individuals to express themselves authentically without fear of judgment. By promoting an inclusive culture, we drive innovation and build stronger, more resilient teams. It is also very important to implement it in client scenarios, especially when working in global environments. So, let us all commit to inclusive leadership and empower everyone to contribute their best selves. When people contribute their best selves, we achieve extraordinary results together. #inclusiveleadership #inclusionanddiversity #leadership

🌟 Reflecting on a Transformative Workshop with a Fortune 100 Leadership Team 🌟 Last week, we had the privilege of conducting an impactful workshop with the top leadership team of a Fortune 100 company, focusing on the critical topic of Building an Inclusive Culture 🤝 within their organization. This was more than just a workshop—it was a deep dive into self-awareness, reflection, and commitment. The leaders openly confronted their own unconscious biases, recognizing how these subtle, often unintentional, behaviors can shape the broader culture of their organization. The conversations were honest, sometimes challenging, but ultimately, incredibly empowering. It was inspiring to witness these leaders acknowledge the pivotal role they play in shaping an inclusive environment—one where diversity is not just celebrated, but woven into the very fabric of the company's culture. But it didn’t stop there. These leaders left the session with more than just awareness; they walked away with a powerful, actionable plan to drive real change. Their commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace is not just about compliance or policy—it's about creating a culture where every voice is heard, every individual feels valued, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. I am immensely proud of the work we did together, and even more excited to see the lasting impact these leaders will have on their organization. This is just the beginning, and I am confident that the changes they implement will ripple throughout the company, setting a new standard for inclusivity in the industry. Here's to building workplaces where diversity and inclusion aren't just goals, but realities. 🚀 #Leadership #Inclusion #Diversity #InclusiveCulture #CorporateTraining #LeadershipDevelopment A big thank you to all the ALLYs who are doing wonderful work in your respective spaces.
