Leadership
Patricia (Tricia) Jesperson, Chief Curiosity Officer
In the mid-eighties I was a young gay woman, beginning to navigate a corporate career. A notable event of the time was the first gay woman coming out live on television. In that day there was no discussion about “bringing one’s whole self to work.” As well, there was no understanding of the direct link between an employee's ability to bring their complete self to work and productivity, innovation and ultimately organizational success.
Much has changed since that time. Talent-sensitive organizations who find themselves in a war for the best and brightest, recognize the need to look beyond culture-fit to culture complement. Data continues to shed light on the business case that greater innovation is realized through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion--DEI unleashes creativity, problem solving and imagination. When you bring together a diverse group of individuals to solve a single problem, you get better solutions. EmployeeEXP exists to help organizations soft-skill their people--driving capacity to learn, be curious, engender trust, and be confident when engaging and developing others similar and dissimilar to themselves.

Reviews
Facilitators and team did a great job engaging in the conversation and providing relevant/new examples to approach and frame the discussions we are and will need to continue having! thank you
The topic was very relevant to today's work environment—the speaker did a great job of presenting the topic.
Great topic and excellent speaker! Nice to balance D&I topics with other leadership and technical topics.
It was great to hear from each of you, Patricia (Tricia) Jesperson, MBA, Pam Lampert& Carita Hibben. Voices of reason and enlightenment in the most disconcerting period we have lived through.

Inclusive Leadership
Featuring the Inclusion Matrix, this is an interactive educational experience. Courses promote active engagement with the instructor and fellow peers.
The course can be positioned as an introduction to five invaluable soft-skills, or as an advanced course to help participants build on previous educational experiences.
The two key objectives are to 1) build one’s capacity to learn about self and others, and 2) explore the skills that are foundational to engendering trust with reports, peers, and managers.
Learning Objectives
Three primary take-aways for participants:
- Improve personal performance through a deeper understanding of self and curiosity to understand and engage others
- Improve team performance through trusting and authentic leadership
- Improve organizational performance through supporting a culture that fully embraces the diversity of all individuals
Investment Value
This course is worth your investment if your organization recognizes the “secret” to employee engagement and market leadership is a culture that promotes professional growth for everyone.
Inclusive cultures are a differentiator—increasing organizational performance, driving innovation, and attracting, retaining, and engaging a more diverse workforce.

Achieving access, speed, and organizational efficiencies through ethical leadership
Managers are better prepared to serve their reports, peers and managers when they establish an ethical decision-making framework. Often used for professional continuing education and compliance, ethics as a critical leadership element can be undervalued.
