The Leadership for Diversity Institute teaches participants hands-on, practical skills for building cultural competency, welcoming diversity, and increasing unity and inclusion. Skills include:

* Building inclusive environments at all levels: in the workplace, in the classroom, on a campus, in government, in a community, in customer service – where everyone’s contribution is valued and inclusivity is an integral part of the environment;

* Resolving conflicts between individuals and groups in a way that increases cooperation;

* Assessing an organization’s strength in cultural competency; and

* Building a team of support for one’s own leadership on diversity issues.

Whether you are a college administrator or faculty member; a school teacher or parent; a manager in government or in the corporate world who is responsible for supervising diverse employees; a police officer or community activist – this Institute will give you the hands-on skills needed to be an innovative leader. In large group classes, participants learn a replicable set of practical skills, then in small group settings, there is a choice of one of two learning tracks to practice the skills with support and encouragement from others. In a lively consultation session towards the end of the Institute, participants have the opportunity to present their own workplace issues and receive concrete help from other participants, utilizing all of the skills learned from the Institute.

The NCBI Leadership for Diversity Institute brings together participants from different countries and cultures, providing the unique opportunity to learn diversity and cultural competency skills in an international group setting.
