Leadership and organizational transformation is a learning journey. The work of sustainable diversity, equity and inclusion requires transformational change for individuals, leaders and organizations. As with any journey, you need a roadmap to get from where you are to where you want to be.
While 68% of CEOs say they have a diversity initiative, fewer than 35% tie their DEI work to their core business strategy. InclusionPro teaches leaders how to build an integrated approach to DEI that becomes the DNA of your business.
This transformational process creates the foundation to scale equitable practices and accountability across your organization through:
The InclusionPro Journey
“
Our leadership team was pleased that the final strategic plan included a logical and practical framework that felt true to UTA and its strategic direction. We were impressed that throughout their work, InclusionPro ensured that leaders felt ownership in and capable of executing the final plan. They were there to guide us, challenge us, and help us identify the right approach for where our organization is starting and where we want to be.

We wanted a DEI consultant who deeply understood law firm dynamics. Sara understood the challenges of building alignment across very distinct stakeholders - partners, associates and agents, and operations staff. InclusionPro has been a valuable strategic partner to support the groundwork and expectations being laid by Klarquist Management, DEI and Mentorship Committees.

Sara's not one to wait for change; she's a force of nature who actively shapes it. Her proactive work securing a Utah state resolution in support of our cause was a game-changer. Witnessing her navigate complex political landscapes with grace and unwavering conviction is a masterclass in advocacy. I would recommend Sara for any high-level strategy needing an experienced professional who partners with you for effective outcomes.

While the humanities naturally embrace many aspects of equity, InclusionPro prepared a cultural analysis and equity strategy to help us focus our Vision, Mission and Values with an equity lens. InclusionPro also designed a framework to help embed equity in our organizational decision-making.

Sara was incredibly helpful coming into the picture and finding out what we had already done and our interests. The new piece we're piloting is inclusive teams. We will likely spend the bulk of this year and at least half of next year training on inclusive teams with the help of Sara and InclusionPro.
Jill Carter
Director of Leadership and Organizational Development

This year, we’re rolling out training that will be done by our people internally to all of our employees worldwide. It’s something that we’ll continue throughout the year. There is a culture change to have more attention paid to [D&I]. We really appreciate Sara; she and her team at InclusionPro have been marvelous.
Paul Jones
Chief Learning Development Officer

Sara provided content strategy to scale an Inclusive Leadership training to our entire global workforce (13 sites, 1400+ employees). This was no small feat. She came with a depth of experience in building online courses, live training, and program implementation which allowed her to effectively partner with us to launch a blended learning program in less than 3 months. Her training model was a very effective way to engage all of our employees on inclusion, diversity and belonging.

Sara was incredibly helpful coming into the picture and finding out what we had already done and our interests. The next level was expanding upon our self-awareness and bias and answering the question, "How do we do inclusion?" Intermountain is big on certified coaches, and this year, we are working on developing inclusive coaches.

It takes constant communication to develop authentic relationships with everyone on our team and across the organization. InclusionPro really helped us see that. This new way of ‘being’ needs to come from the top — from us, the leadership team. We need to have a mutual education and a constant intentional focus on this.

Beyond that, she genuinely cares about my well-being, encouraging me to become a more effective leader and a more balanced individual. I highly recommend Sara for business and leadership coaching.

Transitioning from Salt Lake City, Utah to a European law firm in 2019 required strategic adaptation. I wanted to be well-prepared to add business value to this new firm. I sought coaching from Sara Jones, a recognized leader in both legal and business domains. Sara’s focused on practical and personalized strategies: leveraging my skillset, building strategic networks, and identifying impactful opportunities. The lessons learned have been foundational as I continue to evolve professionally.
