Northwestern ELOC Inclusive Leadership Pathway

Complete four Inclusive Leadership courses, along with an assessment and one-on-one coaching session, to earn a Northwestern ELOC Inclusive Leadership Certificate. More than a credential, this certificate:

• Demonstrates your commitment to developing your skills in DEIJ change leadership work
• Indicates your membership in a growing community of practice focused on collaboration, co-creation, and mutual exchange
• Combines evidence-based approaches to DEIJ change work with real-time opportunities for practical application, allowing you to learn it today and use it tomorrow

Self as Inclusive Leader 
Understand how individual identities and institutional/structural inequities impact workplace experiences and efficiency of individuals and teams. Develop your leadership toolkit to effectively lead organizational design and change initiatives that support the needs of organizations and their diverse employees, customers, and stakeholders.

Managing Bias for Equitable Decision Making  
Explore the science behind decision-making to build your skills in making equitable judgments in organizations. Learn methods and tools to help you and your teams eliminate common biases in decision-making. Examine potential gaps and vulnerabilities in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) decision-making processes by exploring how cognitions, emotions, and contexts impact judgements.

Leading Change for Equity and Inclusion  
Learn tools and best practices for effectively facilitating strategic change in organizations committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). Explore the context for change, potential impacts, stakeholder groups, and their combined impact on the organizational transformation process.

Driving Structural Change and Accountability  
Lead the critical elements of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) work: assessment, strategic planning, initiative alignment, measurement, and changing an organization’s systems that can create barriers to change. Examine theories and perspectives to help you think critically about the current state of DEIJ in work settings. Plan your next steps for weaving DEIJ accountability throughout your organization.
