Lekeshia Angelique ConsultingOwner & Consultant
Jan. 2019Nashville Metropolitan AreaI believe that discrimination happens due to a lack of education, not a lack of empathy. I spent 20+ years working in leadership roles in one of the most diverse organizations in the world and now I help leaders redefine their authority into genuine allyship. At Lekeisha Angelique Consulting, I help organizations create and sustain DE&I programs that reduce turnover and produce better professionals. Why is DE&I an effective approach? It cultivates a company culture where businesses become more sustainable and employees increase innovation and resiliency. Employees feel respected and respect their leadership in return. Hereโs how I help organizations: ๐ We Power: This signature program takes organizations and individuals on a guided journey to activate their allyship, gain trust and buy-in, and deepen their knowledge on creating places and spaces of belonging. ๐ We Belong: Designed for DE&I professionals to gain additional knowledge and sharpen their professional skills. This workshop arms you with the tools and understanding to implement a diversity initiative that cultivates lasting change. ๐ Custom Solutions: Ideal for organizations in the early stages of DE&I programming and need expert guidance. I work on a retainer to review projects and programs, offering feedback and best practices to help your organization meet its goals. โญโญโญโญโญโLekeshia's brilliance is not just that she's a bonafide expert, but that she takes all the fear and anxiety out of this process. Her warm and compassionate approach seems to melt away all your emotional blocks so you can be strategic about your thinking.
