Leaders FIRST – Executive Development
Over the past decade Charlotte Sweeney Associates has been working with CEOs and Executive level leaders to (i) support their personal development in understanding diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) issues, (ii) understanding and stepping into their role as a leader and (iii) creating and delivering their actions that will embed DE&I into the fabric of their business policies, practices, processes and culture.

Over the course of the last 5 years alone we have coached, mentored and supported thousands of C-Suite leaders around the world, across diverse sectors, on their own personal DE&I journey. |

This is as a result our Leaders FIRST research that unpacks the key themes as to why little progress is made, even with leadership commitment. |

Using our insights, Charlotte Sweeney Associates creates insightful and discussion-based programmes for Executive Teams to unpick the reasons behind the key themes in their organisation as well as the pragmatic actions they can take to overcome them. |

You have won round the sceptics and educated those who needed the knowledge. The ‘what’ and the measurement is great. I’m excited to get the data and see where we can take this!
I loved your no nonsense approach and willingness to challenge the current norms of practice. It all seems so simple doesn’t it? Apply the same strategic approach & questions as you would to any area of business - why do we fail to do this for DE&I?!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you! It’s great working with you and I feel way more confident we can move our DE&I agenda forward with your support.
Thank you so much for all of your support, it has been invaluable throughout this process. Your steer, guidance and feedback has been greatly appreciated and most definitely helped have a positive impact on the shadow board concept.
