Individual And Corporate Leadership Coaching. Exclusively for People of Color.

Overcome unique leadership challenges and unconscious bias in the corporate world, and become the leader you’re destined to be.

Not Seeing The Career Growth You Hoped For? This Is Why:

Whether you’re going it alone or you’re an HR director or CEO looking to help your managers or C-suite staff along their career development journey, navigating the corporate world as a professional of color is difficult.

You face unique challenges few can relate to; leaving you to deal with office politics, corporate culture, and systemic bias alone.

Unfortunately, whether in a mid-level management position or in the boardroom, professionals of color may feel unable to make the impact they desire due to demographics, current culture or inexperience leading diverse teams.

Have you found yourself facing these tough questions again, and again…

  • Are you a token diversity hire or the best person for the job?

  • Are you the best candidate or the best diversity candidate? And how can you tell? Do you want to know?

  • Are you having trouble aligning your skill sets with your new position, although you know you can do the job?

  • Are you feeling uncomfortable in your skin even though you know you have the skills for the job?

  • Is there a nagging voice inside of you that makes you doubt your abilities?

  • What’s holding you back from being a better supporter to your POC/LGBTQ+ colleagues?

  • Are you the best ally for minorities on your team?

Have you ever felt this way about your leadership role?

  • Feel like you're on your own due to a lack of representation and mentorship in your supervisory, mid-level, or C-suite management Role.

  • Feeling unsupported as a minority in your workplace.

  • Fear of being passed over for advancement simply because of your race or ethnicity and having your experience and accomplishments overlooked.

  • Struggling to understand how to include diverse voices in decision-making.

  • Difficulty transitioning into a new role and overcoming imposter syndrome.

  • Uncertainty in how to negotiate contracts without devaluing yourself and experience.

  • You desire a leadership role, but feel unable to make the impact you want at your current organization due to the demographics or current culture.

  • Unsure how to reveal your true self because you fear judgment from every direction.

  • You feel misunderstood.

  • Difficulty implementing DEI initiatives effectively.

  • Failing to promote diverse talent based on merit.

  • Feeling alone in your career journey and not sure where to turn to for help.

  • Unsure of your ability to hold a strong leadership position in diverse communities.

Why Aren’t You Taking The Single Most Important Step To Become A More Impactful Leader?

You may have relied on yourself to navigate the corporate world as a person of color. But you now realize the lone wolf strategy can only take you so far in your leadership development journey. You know you need to take a different approach. But you may be unsure about leadership coaching. You may be thinking:

  • The cost of a comprehensive leadership development program might not be within my reach.

    • Ingram Educational Consulting’s leadership coaching program is the most competitively priced in the industry, and we offer convenient payment plans.

  • I’m not sure it will help me create the impact and alignment I want to achieve in my leadership role.

    • The Leader in Training (LIT) is a specialized program developed to address the specific needs of professionals of color in leadership roles. We work with you until the goal is achieved.

  • I fear being singled out or stigmatized for seeking help or sharing sensitive information with a coach.

    • Our services are one-on-one, so we ensure your privacy in all communications and never share information with others.

  • I’ve already achieved success, so I’m not sure I need additional help.

    • You may have achieved some success, but there are always more challenges to face. Leadership development isn’t just for where you are now as a leader; it’s for continued success.

  • I’m unsure if I will have the time for a coaching program.

    • We offer flexible scheduling for busy professionals, including evenings and weekends. We’re available when you are. We also offer ad hoc add-on coaching services, such as a VIP day (up to 6 hours of on-site coaching) for HR managers or companies seeking leadership coaching for their management staff.

This has most likely left you feeling unable to take that next step, experience real career growth, and lead with confidence.

  • “This coaching session has helped me identify certain skills that I can utilize in my professional career. It has also helped me identify my strength, maximize my potential, and helped me make the transition from working in a big corporation to owning my own business.”

    C. Passard, Nurse Practitioner

  • “The question regarding the ‘I’ statements were very good. They were empowering and made me realize what I am doing RIGHT!”

    Dr L. Dopwell, School Teacher
