Equity Lab for Leaders
Equity Lab is a four (4) part series of leadership development labs designed to help organizational leaders develop the skills, strategies and tools necessary to translate equity from aspiration into action. Each participant will gain new tools, mental models, and frameworks to improve their capacity to lead through an equity lens.
