Custom Programs
A number of organizations require bespoke initiatives in order to achieve their talent development, diversity, and business goals. The ELC engages corporate stakeholders to design tailored equity solutions that compliment preexisting leadership development programs or create original culturally dynamic leadership programming to advance and retain Black and multicultural talent.
Custom programs are engaging, highly-interactive, and can be short- (e.g., half-day) or long-form (2 years), and can be designed for as few as several dozen participants or as many as several hundred. Potential Custom Program elements include:
- Ally engagement activities
- Demonstration projects
- Executive coaching (1-on-1 or group)
- Facilitated learning sessions
- Fireside chats with ELC members
- In-person, virtual, or hybrid engagement
- Post-program sustainment activities
- Pre-assessments and/or post-assessments
- Pre-program work
- Program kickoff with participants, their supervisors, and executive advocates
