Anima Inclusive Leadership Certificate
Purposeful Leadership for High-Performance Teams in Polarizing Times
In an era unlike any other in the past half-century, organizational leaders are having to navigate incredible challenges brought about by a politically chaotic and polarized climate. The onslaught of constant change, unpredictability and division is causing sky-rocketing levels of anxiety, confusion and fear across workplaces, eroding both capacity and trust on teams. More than ever, we need competent leaders who can manage crises while addressing the emotional needs of teams in a holistic manner in order to achieve organizational goals.
Our four foundational leadership courses—Deep Diversity®, Authentic Management, Brave Conversations and Authentic Facilitation— provide an antidote, integrating an EDI (equity, diversity, inclusion) lens with dynamic leadership competencies helping leaders nurture high-performance teams through this turbulent time period. Leaders will explore best practices, theory and scenarios of how to use power equitably, in order to nurture diverse, inclusive and productive organizations. Leaders will be equipped with key knowledge and skills to care for employees and address their concerns in order for the work of your organization to continue through this era of uncertainty.
Combining principles of resilience and inclusion, the Anima Inclusive Leadership Certificate courses will help leaders:
- Understand how psychological safety, resilience and inclusion are interlinked;
- Enhance their tolerance for uncertainty;
- Develop polarity management skills to deal with divisive issues.

Deep Diversity®: Systems Thinking to Nurture Inclusion at a Time of Backlash
Our flagship training is a rethinking of how we do racial justice and equity work, differentiating unhelpful, rigid DEI strategies from those that are restorative and reparative. Now more than ever, we need courageous, heart-centred and effective leaders in order to bring more people onto the side of justice. Anima Leadership has revamped the entire curriculum of our award-winning program to address our turbulent context, including:
- How organizations can deal with world events and address competing stakeholder needs;
- How to politic-proof your DEI strategy;
- Skill development to be a non-polarized leader, avoiding binary choices or the false trap of “neutrality” in order to truth-speak and lead during a politically divisive era;
- A systems-thinking approach to DEI with proven, data-backed strategies to support you and your organization.
Become a true equity champion through our award-winning trauma-informed training based on the bestselling book by our co-founder, Shakil Choudhury, Deep Diversity®: A Compassionate, Scientific Approach to Achieving Racial Justice.
