This master class comes out of Lisette Martinez’s experiences, lessons learned and vision for what today’s employees and organizations need and want – diverse and truly inclusive workplaces where everyone can feel like they belong.
DEI LEAP will give your employees skills that are centered on these topics:

- Intentional Inclusion: Go Beyond Your Comfort Zone

In this eLearning course, Lisette also introduces her unique method, the SPA Zone, to help people learn how to Slow down, be Present and Ask questions (SPA) to connect more authentically.

DEI LEAP is now available – take the LEAP
Lisette Martinez, Chief Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) Officer for the Audubon Society, articulates why seizing the moment to take a leap and lead with DEI is more crucial than ever.
“I learned that if you don’t embed something into the fabric of the organization, if you don’t build something that’s perceived as integral to success, then it’s never gonna get done,” says Martinez.
The work of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not about changing people. It’s not a fight against something – the work is about people; it’s slow, personal and should be inspirational with concrete action steps people can learn and practice. Lisette Martinez guides you how to do this.
Recognized as a Top Diversity Leader by Modern Healthcare, Lisette invites you to get up close and personal as she shares her best practices, skills and lessons learned, offering insights into shaping a more inclusive workplace. Read this profile of Lisette published in Becker’s Healthcare.
