Equity Fluent Leadership Academy

Accelerate Change Within Your Organization to Build an Inclusive and Equitable World

About the Program

2-day in-person program

The future of business is equitable and to successfully innovate and maintain a competitive advantage, organizations must embrace inclusion wholeheartedly. The Equity Fluent Leadership (EFL) Academy is an equity and inclusion training designed for business leaders who aspire to further equity and inclusion in their organizations and drive impactful change. Led by the Center for Equity, Gender & Leadership (EGAL) at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, participants will learn what it means to be an Equity Fluent Leader™, why diversity and inclusion matter, and research-driven methods to expanding equity within your company.

What are Equity Fluent Leaders? Equity Fluent Leaders intentionally utilize their impact to drive change with the intention of crafting a more inclusive and equitable world. The EFL Academy employs a research-driven curriculum, active classroom discussions, and participant self-reflection to empower participants to hone their own equitable leadership. Throughout this equity, diversity, and inclusion training, participants will learn strategies to advance belonging and psychological safety in their organization and teams, how to communicate and use language that advances inclusion, and how to have courageous conversations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ultimately, participants will walk away with knowledge, strategies, and tools that equip them to drive change for positive impact within their organizations and in the broader community.
