In this episode, we answer the question, "How can I level-up my commitment to and leadership skillset for race and culture work?"
Nikki Lerner has spent over 20 years leading and building a successful multicultural creative department of over 150 people in an organization of 4,000+. Through her experiences, she has firsthand knowledge of how to create organizations that make room for as many people as possible. As a cultural coach, Nikki loves to walk alongside individuals in their multicultural work, giving them the resources, training and support to achieve their goals. Nikki has been working with the Missouri Annual Conference since 2020 to help them achieve their goal of: "Becoming a brave, empowering place for people from diverse cultures and generations so that we can become a Church for all God's people."
