Why JUST Hiring DEI Leaders Won’t Fix Your Inclusion Problem


Listen Later

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with Hannah Awonuga, Founder & CEO of Illume Executive Consulting, about how to unlock executive potential through inclusive leadership and authentic executive coaching.

Hannah shares the biggest challenges HR leaders face when developing senior leaders, and why inclusion must be more than a program, it must be a mindset shift. This episode will reshape how you think about power, privilege, and the future of leadership development.


🎓 In this episode, Hannah discusses:

  1. Why authenticity is critical to leadership influence
  2. How to create psychologically safe coaching spaces
  3. What HR gets wrong when working with senior leadership
  4. Reframing privilege and power as part of inclusive development
  5. How executive coaching changes when inclusion becomes a non-negotiable
