Begin by unpacking what makes you, you. Explore how your inheritance and intersectional identity influence the way you lead and communicate, using sociologist Kwame Appiah’s 5Cs of Identity framework (Country, Culture, Creed, Class, Color).

Unearth what lies beneath your surface-level understanding of conflict. Become aware of the deeper dynamics underlying conflict and how they affect your nervous system. Develop an awareness of how your inheritance impacts the way you communicate and lead through conflict and in high-stakes situations.

Discover the foundational techniques for effectively resolving conflict. You will learn the 7 Skills for Challenging Conversations and apply them to a real-life situation you are facing at work e.g setting boundaries with clients, giving feedback to a team member, or addressing a micro-aggression.

Understand the true definition of inclusion and learn to apply the 7 Skills to create more inclusive, effective collaborative environments. Create your personal Leadership Manifesto to become accountable for integrating the 7 Skills into the way you lead and work.

In between each 2-hr Live Workshop, there is an Integration & Coaching Session. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and receive guidance and “hot seat coaching” on real-life situations you are facing.

In addition to attending group sessions, this training will require approximately 45 minutes per week of individual work. This includes but is not limited to: course readings, written reflections, engaging in dialogue with your pod and other participants, and 5-10 minute somatic practices such as breathwork and guided meditation.

The term 'somatic' means relating to the body, especially as distinct from the mind.

If we consciously or subconsciously perceive a situation, person, or conflict as a threat, our nervous system will activate a sympathetic response. This sympathetic response or “survival mode” evolved to help us survive and keep us safe by quickly identifying and reacting to threats in our environment. While this can be very useful to keep us safe from harm, the reactions of our nervous system can also sometimes get in the way of us fully understanding and empathizing with others.

When we approach our greatest challenges, such as disagreements with a boss or colleague, with intention and learn how to regulate our nervous systems, we give ourselves the opportunity to turn challenging conversations into meaningful connections.

Each week you will receive a different ~5 min somatic practice, to practice every day that week. These practices will help you strengthen and align your body, mind, and energy for leadership (and life). These guided video practices may involve breathing exercises, physical warm-ups, and other meditative practices.

DEIB stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging. Many leadership programs are taught from the perspective of dominant workplace norms in the US, and fail to give leaders the skills to collaborate with the incredible variety of humans present in our diverse workplaces.

At the same time, many DEIB programs are missing the mark. For example, one of the most popular DEIB training solutions is implicit bias training. However, a growing body of research shows that this is ineffective in actually reducing bias and can actually serve to increase bias and create more division in the workplace.

We invite you to pause and reflect…

Do you ever feel like you're being judged or stereotyped by your coworkers or managers?⁠

Do you feel unsafe to be yourself at work?

Are conversations about identity, equity, and privilege 'taboo' or off-the-table in your company culture?⁠

Have you been through boring, ineffective, or infuriating DEIB trainings in the past that didn't change anything and caused more harm than good?⁠

We understand that many leaders in organizations have great intentions that often leave a harmful impact.

At Inheritance Project, we don't tell you what to think or how to behave, or teach generalizations about whole groups or cultures. Instead, we create a space where each individual can reflect for themselves, and be seen and heard in their nuanced, complex, intersectional identity.

We are currently experiencing a growing backlash against DEIB efforts. If you are a leader who wants to sustain a long-term shift towards equity and justice in your life and work, you need the skills to build bridges and engage those with different perspectives in a constructive way.

Our program is designed to give you the skills you need to turn naysayers into the most enthusiastic collaborators.

Many coaches and training programs teach “inclusion” or “leadership” through an academic lens. ⁠

Rather than giving you an experience of inclusion, they teach you about inclusion, in theory. ⁠

Theory ≠ practice.⁠

Learning about something is not the same thing as experiencing it for yourself.⁠

This program is designed to teach through experience. ⁠ We don’t just teach “about” our inclusive leadership tools; we use them during the workshops to give everyone the experience of these tools in action.

Our co-founders are a multicultural team of experience designers who bring together various skills, expertise, and perspectives to create a process unlike any you’ve experienced before.⁠

Our team draws upon the fields of education, mindfulness and meditation, theater and movement, executive strategy, creative problem solving, healing arts, game design, non-violent communication, and more.

This program was not created by corporate trainers, and will be a breath of fresh air if you’re used to traditional “leadership training”.

Great question! If you are employed, your organization may already have funds available for you to invest in professional and leadership development. We’ve done the legwork of creating a simple, convincing email you can use to pitch this to your boss. Feel free to use this as a guide and customize the language to be most suited to your goals and your organization’s context. 

We also recommend having an in-person conversation with your boss or funder to share your passion for the program and explain how the skills you will learn will impact your organization. Reflect on how you can tie the skills you will learn in this program to a specific business objective, organizational goal or personal metric you are accountable for. Some examples of organizational impact may include: 

• Build stronger relationships with stakeholders in or outside your organization to improve your level of influence and get greater support for your priority initiatives 

• Improve relationships and negotiations with clients, leading to increased revenue and client retention 

• Cultivate your team’s sense of inclusion and engagement at work, leading to decreased costs from employee turnover 

Dear [MANAGER’S NAME],



I am so excited to share with you an opportunity that aligns perfectly with our recent discussions around leveling up my leadership skills.  I have been reflecting on my goals as a leader in [NAME OF ORGANIZATION] and how I can show up with stronger communication skills and build stronger collaborative relationships across our organization and stakeholders.



I am reaching out to request $950 of funding to complete a Leadership Development training, focused on Inclusive Leadership & Conflict Resolution because I’d love to be able to create the conditions where our team can thrive and communicate effectively while working together on [NAME OF PROJECT YOU’RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON]. 



The program starts on March 25 and the Early Bird Special of $595 ends on May 17. I believe this would be beneficial to myself as well as other leaders and managers to ensure we are working towards a common goal of an inclusive workplace where we approach conflicts constructively and create the opportunity for everyone to contribute their best work. You can learn more about the program here: www.inheritanceproject.org/inclusive-leadership-immersion.  

Let’s find time this week to talk more about it.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
