The Leadership Range

Neil shares a new, yet old view of being an ally. He frames the illusion of allyship present in the current societal narrative and how it limits our success if the goals are inclusion, equity, and belonging. This episode challenges the status quo, and invites individuals and corporations to rethink their strategies and actions. You will walk away, not only with a lot to think about, but with a high-level overview of a 6-point conceptual model for doing allyship work that Neil created using his expertise as a Organization and Relationship Systems Coach, Co-active Leader, and personal and professional experiences.
