Abstract
In a messy political and social climate, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives stand at a precipice. Within this daunting landscape, a large insurance firm in the Midwest continues to educate its employees about race in the United States and racial healing for all bodies in a 6- week, cohort-based program called Inclusion Institute. Despite monthly Inclusion Institute Alumni meetings, there is a strong employee desire to leverage and further DEI at the insurance firm. This paper examines Shared Equity Leadership (SEL) implementation, originally implemented in higher education settings, in a corporate workplace—and devises a curriculum for immediate use in an Inclusion Institute Part II. Part II satisfies the need for additional DEI support while equipping employees with the tools to lead with equity in their spheres of influence
