Inclusive leadership training and workshops
Last updated:
Celeste Warren's inclusive leadership training is a set of practical workshops and learning experiences that help leaders put fair and inclusive leadership practices into action.
Delivered through CRW Diversity, the work helps leaders strengthen their effectiveness and improve workplace culture using the Equity in Action Model. It includes Equity in Action for Managers, a short, practical learning experience designed for busy leaders.
What makes inclusive leadership training practical?
Training is practical when leaders leave with tools they can use in their next decision. Understanding the principles is the beginning. Applying them in the everyday decisions managers make is where change happens, and that is what these learning experiences are built around.
The workshops also look past individual behavior to the systems leaders work within: policies, practices, access to opportunity, and unwritten norms.

What should companies look for in corporate leadership development programs?
Look for a clear framework, tools leaders can apply right away, facilitators with real senior experience, and attention to systems, not only individual behavior. Those are the same criteria this site uses in its guide to choosing a culture consultant.
Will Moss, CEO of HBCU CONNECT, said Celeste “provided our members with practical strategies they could immediately apply in their career.” Recent survey data also suggests managers are under pressure: see leadership in 2026 by the numbers.
