Suzanne’s proposition is both simple and stunningly innovative: for businesses to truly succeed and have a competitive commercial edge they must build inclusive leadership and diversity of thought into their strategic planning and management hierarchies.
Companies who adopt diversity of thinking and inclusivity will be better able to capitalise on opportunities driven by the rise of women and the emerging markets.
Suzanne’s story
Engaging InclusIQ’s clients with new thinking about the benefits of diversity and inclusive leadership comes in a multi-layered offering. Suzanne has offered corporate consultancy, training, mentoring and coaching in inclusive leadership, even including a ‘gaming’ element in delivery.
My biggest challenge was
I think my biggest challenge was getting through the ‘failure’ of my online diversity games. After several years of only mediocre sales, I realised it just wasn’t going anywhere fast. But what got me to accepting that ‘failure’ was going back to nearly 50 clients who’d shown interest, but then asking why we didn’t progress. I couldn’t take any of it personally – instead I just asked where we’d fallen down. People were so helpful and shared my goals – a fairer and more inclusive workforce.
