Demonstrating value for the benefits of identity-diverse teams and cultivating inclusive organizations and communities are baseline requirements of brilliant leadership.
YSC helps our partner organizations build a strong talent base, comprised of intellectually, culturally and stylistically diverse professionals while creating the conditions for them to leverage their distinct capabilities toward breakthrough performance.

4
Design & Implement Interventions
Co-create a plan to deliver relevant, bespoke DEI interventions as needed and appropriate to enable sustainable change
5
Evaluate & Extend Impact
Measure the impact of the DEI agenda against concrete success criteria, and adjust interventions and programming to increase and expand effectiveness
OUR OFFERINGS
Our visioning, diagnostic and strategic planning activities allow us to determine which interventions will get the individual leaders, teams and culture closest to the desired future state. We then design and deliver bespoke DEI interventions, including:
Cultural Diagnostic
As well as providing insight into the levels of perceived inclusion in your organization, this tool is a first step in discerning what interventions are needed for cultural change to occur.
Inclusive Leadership 360 & Self Assessment
The Inclusive Leadership 360 & Self-Assessment explores individual self-perceptions, and the perceptions of others, against the YSC Model of Inclusive Leadership, highlighting potential strengths and weaknesses. The aggregate report facilitates personal development and helps to inform the design of subsequent interventions for inclusive teams, individuals and organizations.
Research & Insights
To establish a more targeted approach, we use a combination of personalized interviews, focus groups, individual and cultural surveys. This comprehensive view of the gaps can lead to careful selection of interventions, with clear measures of impact.
Inclusive Leadership Assessment
Our approach is based on a proven methodology developed over the past 30 years. Our assessments are humanistic and rigorous, using our Inclusive Leadership Model to understand how to best support and develop inclusive leaders.
Conscious Inclusion Workshop
This is an introductory workshop underpinned by an appreciation of identity. It brings the individual closer to the DEI agenda by uncovering how psychological safety is the key to unlocking full potential.
Inclusive Leadership Workshop
This workshop builds on an understanding of conscious inclusion and uses YSC’s Inclusive Leadership Model as a springboard for behavioral change. It starts from the premise that everyone is a leader.
Executive Sponsorship Program
For change to occur, it needs to be driven from the top. Our Executive Sponsorship Program equips senior leaders with the knowledge and tools to effectively sponsor diverse talent, while also coaching high-potential talent towards professional acceleration.
Talent Development Program
Combining our expertise in leadership with an appreciation of DEI, our talent programs empower diverse talent (e.g., Women in Leadership) to navigate their path towards career progression.
