Project Description
What is The Ellevate Collective?
The Ellevate Collective is a premier learning and leadership development firm. We make leadership accessible, relatable and transformative. We offer solutions that help your leaders produce more leaders. We're on a mission to increase female representation in the c suite by 2% in 5 years.
Here's the problem: Over 84% of organizations say that leadership development is very important. But only 19% of these same organizations say they are 'very effective' at developing leaders.
1) Women now hold just 25% of the five critical C-suite positions even though we're more than half the population.
2) Even with the anticipated shortfall of leadership in the next 5 years, companies don't have time to focus on internal development or reserve it for higher level employees
3) Only 5% of US Based companies have implemented development at all levels
The Ellevate Collective solves this problem by providing a solution that:
1. Allows each employee level to participate in transformational cohort style workshop experiences with anchoring and sustainability tools that take into account how women ascend into leadership.
2. Offers end to end leadership solutions that consider the employee life cycle from emerging leader all the way to the c suite
3. And Delivers custom experiences and activations that consider how adults learn and transform by leveraging data, neuroscience and the need to belong, connect and feel safe.
Ellevate Collective clients are corporations, non profits and small businesses that want to provide leadership opportunities to their employees. We partner with employers that seek to transform how their employees experience the world of work. They want to ignite inclusion, create high achieving, high purpose cultures and cultivate meaning, the highest level of happiness we can achieve.
The Four Founding Partners and I are accomplished Black women with multiple degrees, certifications and backgrounds in DEI, Leadership, Neuroscience and Data Analytics which help us curate intentional leadership experiences. As a woman, millennial and person of color, it's not lost on me that access without support is still oppression. I want people to not just survive corporate but thrive. Leaders aren't born...they're cultivated, supported and developed.
We want to thank everyone who participates in the campaign to create a brave space for women, especially for women of color to learn, build community and increase their self efficacy. Any amount you decide to contribute to this venture; know that you are changing the landscape of leadership. Thank you!
