From EMpower to MEpower: Why All Leaders Need Cultural Competence

Season #6

What insights and opportunities do we miss out on when we only define leadership through the lens of the dominant culture? How can leadership development programs help professionals from historically marginalized backgrounds lean into their different lived experiences so they can navigate the workplace with confidence? In today’s episode, host Mareisha N. Reese, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Winters Group, Inc., connects with global business consultant and executive coach Priya Dhingra Klocek, President and CEO of Consultant On The Go LLC. Tune in to hear Mareisha and Priya’s deep dive into why all leaders need cultural competence in order to recognize and retain diverse talent, and how they can leverage that knowledge to stoke curiosity about the systems we operate in, how they impact different groups, and what we can do together to pave a more equitable pathway to leadership.
