INLEAD stands for Inclusive Leaders. We have been actively promoting diversity and inclusion (D&I) at the management and executive level since 2015. We offer consulting, coaching, training, workshops and digital solutions (e-learning).

INLEAD is your partner for the development and implementation of integrated solutions in D&I promotion. We help you achieve sustainable results and harness the benefits of D&I. INLEAD is synonymous with leveraged diversity: activating diversity for the benefit of the organisation as a whole and all its stakeholders.

Our philosophy

We work with clients in a solution- and resource-oriented, holistic and optimistic way. Guided by systems theory, we build long-term relationships characterised by mutual respect, openness, confidentiality and a positive image of humanity.

    Inclusion & Diversity

    Our vision: Diversity AND Inclusion

    Diversity exists in all societies, organisations, businesses and teams. When consciously embraced, it can become a valuable resource and success factor—but diversity without inclusion is meaningless. The conscious inclusion of diversity is a prerequisite for harnessing its many benefits.

    Why promote inclusion at INLEAD?

    Inclusion stands for participation, equal opportunities, safety and respect, empathy and fairness. It is our conviction that everybody—irrespective of age, ethnicity, personality, lifestyle, gender identity, sexual orientation, skills or abilities—benefits from greater inclusion.

    INLEAD was born of a firm commitment to inclusion—for the benefit of us all.
