Cultural Competency Certification and Licensing
Accelerate your cultural transformation
You’re ready to build and expand cultural competency across your entire organization.
Scale Your Cultural Competency
To accelerate transformation across your organization, Leverage to Lead trains and certifies DEI facilitators within your organization. Once certified, your facilitators can lead Building Cultural Competency workshops for the rest of your employees.
Certifying multiple facilitators will increase the number of workshops you can hold within a shorter period. For comparison, a Leverage to Lead facilitator can train 25 people at a time, while 8 Certified Facilitators in your organization can train 200 people at a time.
Why Certify Your Own Employees?
Internal facilitators can hold workshops on your schedule, using your preferred meeting location or platform, all while holding your organization’s institutional and cultural knowledge.
At every step, facilitators receive Leverage to Lead support, access to a library of learning materials, and membership in a diverse Facilitators’ Community of Practice for the duration of their certification.
