Leadership & Culture: Key to effective DE&I

Leaders shape culture, drive transformation and ultimately determine success. That’s why D&I requires targeted approaches for senior leaders, operational management and role modelling. We support leaders in aligning purpose, personal conviction and measurable impact.

Creating Relevance – Enabling Responsibility

We position D&I as a business-critical management topic, framed by a clear mandate for change. At the same time, we equip leadership teams with practical, priority-aligned concepts that drive genuine commitment in day-to-day operations.

“Inclusive leadership starts with a visionary view of the business.” Michael Stuber

Shaping Culture – Developing Leadership

Our Inclusive Leadership and Unconscious Bias models address cultural patterns—where implicit norms often define success or the (under)utilisation of potential. This creates impactful transformation that is integrated, authentic and future-focused.

It is also a real pleasure working with him.

TX Markets | Jeremy Seitz, CTO, 11/2021

At TX Markets, we chose European Diversity to support us in diversity training with the technology leaders across our companies, including Tutti, Ricardo and Homegate. Michael was awesome to work with, he created a structured approach that allowed us to have open and thoughtful conversations about many important and difficult topics. He led us to design our own approach for improving diversity in a collaborative way. With so much experience and knowledge in the topic, he was able to guide us on a journey that fostered open-mindedness, a feeling of psychological safety, and a business-focused approach that was not bound by politics or corporate-speak. This approach helped us tackle real issues: how we can build and retain a more diverse workforce and leadership to help accelerate our innovation and tech goals.
