Inclusive Leadership Masterclass
A two-day immersive masterclass to move from intention to action
Are you noticing signs of disengagement or “quiet quitting”?
Are microaggressions present on your team, but not being addressed?
Do you want a more inclusive workplace, but it feels too overwhelming to start?
You’re not alone. Many leaders face these challenges with limited support, tools and no roadmap.
In today’s complex and fast-changing world, equity and inclusion aren’t just values, they’re core leadership competencies.
Join us in our two-day in-person Inclusive Leadership Masterclass for managers, senior staff, and leaders who supervise people and influence hiring, strategy, and culture. Grounded in tools developed by the RADIUS SFU Consulting and Training Services team, you’ll gain frameworks and practices to build teams where people feel safe, valued, and included.
Want to preview this workshop?
Join us for a one-hour online session on Wednesday, September 17 for Why DEI training fails and how inclusive leadership starts with you.
We’ll explore why so many equity efforts stall or feel performative and how inclusive leadership starts with understanding power, systems, and ourselves.
This isn’t a diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) check box, or surface-level training.
It’s deep leadership development for those ready to transform how they lead.

Course breakdown
When you sign up, you’ll get access to two self-paced modules to ground you in key concepts:
- Systems Thinking for Equity
- Anti-Racism Foundations for Leaders
These accessible modules mix content, case studies, and videos within one to three hours each of self-paced learning. With this grounding in key concepts, we can focus our in-person time on application, reflection, and practice.
Deepen our systems thinking lens and gain tools to uncover patterns, diagnose challenges, and lead change
We begin by unpacking how systems of oppression— racism, colonialism, ableism, and patriarchy—shape our values, workplaces, relationships, and decision-making structures. While many leaders are familiar with diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) concepts, few have had the opportunity to build the analytical lens and muscle needed to apply them in practice.
Day 1 focuses on building that capacity.
We explore how exclusion is often unintentionally embedded in everyday interactions, decisions, and organizational policies shaped by dominant norms and unequal systems. Through real case studies, reflective practice, and accessible frameworks, you’ll begin to sharpen your equity lens and identify leverage points for change in your own context.
You’ll learn to:
- Explore how power, privilege, dominant culture characteristics, and unconscious bias unintentionally impact decisions, team dynamics, and workplace culture.
- Use case-based application of the iceberg model and the four levels of systems change (individual, interpersonal, institutional, cultural), and to better recognize where and how exclusion is reinforced.
- Reflect on how our identities, values, and norms shape what we define as “professionalism” or “excellence”—and how those definitions, when left unexamined, can unintentionally create barriers for others in hiring and decision-making.
- Apply an intersectional lens to explore how overlapping identities affect access, safety, and belonging.
Identify and being aware of your bias, and learn mitigation strategies to interrupt it.
Day 2 is where we shift from awareness to action, applying the systems lens developed on Day 1 to everyday leadership decisions, tensions, and relationships. We explore what it truly means to lead with equity especially when things get hard, messy, or uncomfortable.
We’ll examine how inclusive leadership isn’t just about vision or values, or a side-of-your-desk effort. It’s about how we respond to conflict, share power, make decisions, and build cultures of care and accountability.
This day focuses on the conditions where diversity—from people to ideas—can actually thrive.
We create space to unpack real challenges and wisdom from our own leadership journeys, and explore the tools and practices that support inclusive leadership in action.
You’ll learn to:
- Explore RADIUS’ Diversity as an Outcome model and organizational case study to reflect on what inclusive leadership looks like in practice including the complexity, learning, and ongoing repair it often requires.
- Hear from the RADIUS Co-Directors about our shift to a matriarchal co-leadership model, how we rebuilt trust after internal conflict, and what it takes to lead relationally in real time.
- Build skills for calling in and calling out, navigating discomfort, and repairing harm with accountability.
- Foster psychological safety by embedding accessibility, care, transparency, and trust into your team culture.
- Learn the Equity-Centered Design (ECD) framework to embed co-creation, shared power, and inclusive processes into your work
This course is ideal for:
- Organizational leaders, managers, team leads, and department heads
- Human Resources (HR) professionals, hiring managers, and policy-makers
- Equity champions looking to lead with more clarity and community connection from other professionals and organizations
- Aspiring leaders such as post-secondary students who want to embed equity, inclusion, and accountability into how they build thriving, safe, and happy teams
No prior diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) training required. We appreciate your curiosity, humility, and your willingness to reflect and lead differently. We welcome participants from all sectors, industries, roles, and lived experiences.
Our facilitation is:
- Strengths-based – building on what’s already working
- Systems-focused – grounded in individual, institutional, and cultural change
- Equity-centered design – using trauma-informed, justice-grounded tools
- Care-driven conversational style facilitation that creates space for tension, reflection, and growth
We know this work is imperfect and often messy. This masterclass isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about practicing equity in real teams, with real people, in real time.
With over 25 years of organizational and cross-sector consulting, 24 years in social innovation, and 30+ years of research and advocacy experience, our team brings deep technical, institutional, and lived experience to support your leadership journey.
