Transformational DEI requires personal journeys and organizational solutions. It commands individuals and teams to embark on courageous journeys of self-reflection, examination, realization, reconciliation, behavior modification, and accountability. NLYB Solutions coaches individual leaders and leadership teams through their personal and professional DEI growth and development. We coach to uncover blind spots, assumptions, beliefs, and behaviors that create barriers to inclusive and equitable workplaces and societies. We facilitate and demonstrate how to have courageous conversations that create authentic breakthroughs in DEI. With individual and team coaching as a foundation, we help organizations develop genuine DEI goals and uniquely crafted strategies to effectively achieve systemic, impactful, measurable, and sustainable DEI outcomes and organizational change.
Transformational DEI Journeys and Solutions
Diversity, equity, and inclusion must exist in the hearts of individuals. When it doesn’t, no law, policy, or strategy can create it. Diversity, equity, and inclusion must be in the consciousness and courage of individuals to create and sustain. The work of a DEI coach is to help individuals and teams build their personal and organizational DEI muscle.
You may have a personal trainer or coach to help you get in physical shape. You may have a life coach to help you achieve certain milestones. You may even have a golf or tennis pro to help you with your form and follow through. Of all the experts by your side, who is helping you navigate diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice? How are you building your DEI muscle and getting into DEI shape? Meet your personal DEI coach.
We discern where an individual is on their DEI journey, meet them exactly where they are without judgment, and navigate them along that journey while guiding their development.
Through team coaching, we identify group barriers to creating organizational inclusion and equity. We guide teams through the process of identifying how team dynamics, beliefs, values, and priorities affected the creation of the current organizational state. Together, we tackle how these elements have created barriers to inclusivity and equity and begin the work of dismantling those barriers, bringing about team and organizational breakthroughs.
Time and time again, clients tell us that we have a unique ability to see what is there and forge a path forward. We attribute this to our dual perspective of micro and macro visioning. We can zoom out to see the forest and zoom in to see the trees and a path through the forest. There is no singular DEI strategy that will work for every organization. Your organizational forest and trees are unique to your organization, and the path forward depends on that.
Once we develop your DEI strategy, we don’t just turn it over for you to figure out. In our extensive experience in the DEI field, we know most organizations don’t have the resources in place to see a plan of this nature through. Our work with you continues as we fully implement your customized DEI strategy. Implementation could include elements such as: creating the model for a DEI office; identifying and selecting related vendors; sourcing and selecting personnel (including chief diversity officers), establishing an organizational DEI council, and serving as a thought partner to your DEI office or singular DEI professional.
NLYB Solutions facilitates challenging conversations about DEI, culture, leadership, change management, and any topic that stifles the team or organization. We also coach leaders to develop the personal and professional tools to engage in courageous DEI conversations that will transform their understanding, interactions, relationships, and businesses.
When DEI crises arise, NLYB Solutions will be there to identify the root causes and address them to prevent similar issues in the future. We assess weaknesses and opportunities in the crisis plan and consult with your communication team on internal and external messaging.
As Founder & CEO of NLYB Solutions, Nicole delivers inspirational, humorous, down-to-earth, non-berating, thought-provoking, conversational presentations and keynote addresses on diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and organizational change.
