He also looks beyond what may seem to be simple issues and finds the long term, sustainable approach that is hidden underneath. I know that he will continue to be a valuable component of any organization.

Not building a Movement Around Your INCLUSION GENIUS is an Unfair Advantage. Your Organization Doesn’t Know It’s Missing Out On.
After Reading This, You Will… In Fact, Maybe You Already Feel It!
I understand how difficult your job is as a Chief People Officer, Head of Talent and Culture, or some other form of leader tasked with improving Inclusive Leadership in your organization.
Too often, you face backlash, or, worse… disinterest and apathy. You know how important your role is, but does everyone else see it as a box to check?
Frustrating… I get it… yet I’m also here to say,
it doesn’t have to be this way!
I have personally worked with some of the planet’s largest organizations to transform their INCLUSION GENIUS efforts into an organic movement that inspires real, sustainable change.
No more glazed-over-eyes of death by Power Point.
No more turns up to this workshop just to check a box.
This has to stop. Because right now, there are people in your organization getting excluded. Maybe other people don’t see it. Maybe those getting excluded don’t even see it. Yet it’s happening and it’s having a hugely negative impact on the impact you can have.
But that’s okay.
NOT with just another box checking exercise or standard, bland, uninspiring workbook or set of exercises that everybody forgets the moment they leave the room.
and I have a few different services that I bespoke and tailor around you and your organization’s specific needs.
If you don’t know who’s being excluded inside your organization, you will not and cannot build an inclusive culture that makes your people feel wanted, safe, and appreciated. And here’s the hard truth that you may not want to hear, but you need to: right now, you likely don’t know who’s being excluded.
But here’s something else you need to know… this is okay.
Most companies don’t. Even those that have great PR and seem to have it all figured out. There’s a lot that goes into developing a true COLLECTIVE GENIUS Strategy that works, and it is something I take a lot of pride in through my unique Inclusive Design Principles that unearth who’s being excluded so we can take tangible steps toward including everyone in your organization.
The thing is, I cannot give you the answers you crave here. Your situation is unique, which is why I invite you to have a complimentary consult with me so we can dive into your current situation, unique goals, and your specific path toward success.

Having a clear and inspiring strategy is one thing, but building a campaign that gets the message across in a way that fuels your people is another.
I’ll say it again… the last thing we want is for your DEIA to remain a box-ticking exercise.
Yet this will not happen unless you make those in your organization FEEL it and appreciate on a deep level how important it is—both to them as individuals and to everyone as a collective.
I do this by building campaigns for your people; that’s right, real people that need to be inspired, motivated, and given reason to care and step up to the plate.
I’ve made a career out of creating superachievers.
This is something anyone can learn to become.
Yet few become it unless they’re empowered to own it.
I know what this takes, utilizing insights into grit, mindset, and personal development, as well as the gamification of incentives, rewards, and results that ignites passion, effort, and progress.
How all this comes together differs from one organization to the next… which is why our next step together is to arrange a complimentary consult so I can learn more about your current DEIA strategy and hone in on the campaigns that will best bring this to life.
The one aspect all companies have in common is that they’re led by people who lead from the front. In my experience, these people are great people; inspiring, and visionaries.
Yet they’re still people… human beings who don’t have all the answers.
This is especially true when it comes to DEIA, largely because the rules, guidelines, and focus keep shifting. This is a great thing, by the way, because as a society it shows we’re learning.
This is the world I want to be in, it’s the one I’m sure you want to be in, and it is the one I imagine the leaders inside your organization aspire toward. This is why I work with individuals, teams, and departments inside forward-thinking organizations that desire real change.
Because unless you’re leading from the front, you and your business will get left behind.
The good news is, I’m an experienced coach and facilitator who can help your leaders lead in a way your people need them to. To learn specifically how I can, schedule your complimentary consultation so you can tell me about what a successful future looks like to you.

Right now, there are four types of people inside your organization:
Keeping and allowing under achievers and normal achievers to remain can be devastating to your entire culture, so it’s important to identify who they are now. Yet this isn’t about just weeding out those that are bringing you down… It’s important you know who today’s (and tomorrow’s) leaders are.
By taking this assessment, you’ll identify who these are, unearthing the SuperAchievers in your organization who are currently hiding in the shadows…
… as well as weeding out the under and normal achievers!
You can replicate this assessment across individuals, entire teams or departments, or even your whole organization. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll untap and unblock leadership in your organization, allowing you to reach new levels and achieve audacious goals.
When you hire me to speak to your people, I bring a unique energy to your stage combined with a unique insight that transforms confusion into clarity.
More importantly… I know what it takes to empower ownership and excitement, meaning you don’t just educate your team on what to do, but ignite a fire inside them to lead from the front and make real, lasting, transformational changes.
I don’t just teach, even though I’m an experienced and respected professor.
I don’t just inform, even though I’m an author and renowned thought-leader.
I bring to your stage the message your audience needs, and I express it in a way that empowers them to take action. Not because they’re told to, but because they want to!
This is why the likes of Delta, NFL, Coca Cola, Pfizer, and Capital One to name just a few have hired me to speak. Maybe you too need to invite me to your stage so I can get your message across. To learn more about what this looks like and the topics I’m currently focusing on…

We both desire change, evolution, and growth.
But this isn’t about me and you.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access don’t happen just because a few people want it. It also doesn’t happen just because it’s the right thing to do and is what needs to happen.
It happens when people like you and me make it happen;
inspire and empower change!
With you, your passion, and expert insight into your organization and industry… and my proven track record of making real, lasting, and transformational change… we can turn your DEIA efforts into something that literally changes the impact you have as a company.

On this call:
I do not offer a standard program, service, or proposal. Every time I collaborate with an organization, the specifics differ. I am proud of this because it is this that sets me apart.
I look forward to speaking with you so we can explore what needs to happen next.

He also looks beyond what may seem to be simple issues and finds the long term, sustainable approach that is hidden underneath. I know that he will continue to be a valuable component of any organization.
He came into JCI when he had to quickly deliver against a critical project underway, while having to assimilate into the organization and plan for the future. He grabbed onto this huge, complicated, global project with true leadership and made it a success. He meets people where they are at, yet is able to move them along a path to a better future for the organization.
His eclectic background provides a unique lens to dissect an area of opportunity and the creative genius to develop innovative approaches and solutions.
Johné is truly a one-of-a-kind inclusive leader. He excels at building relationships, serving clients, defining what success looks like, and ensures that his team delivers. He has a way with words to effectively communicate. While facilitating, he shares inspiring and authentic stories and leans into differences. Through our projects, I've had the privilege of collaborating with Johné and discovered potential within myself that I never knew I had. Johné is transparent about sharing how he learns by being reflective and listening. I am fortunate to have been on a team with Johné Battle. I could not recommend him enough.
I have had the pleasure of being professionally coached by Johné Battle for my own executive leadership development. I have also had the privilege of sharing the stage with him as a colleague regarding critical topics around “How to Leverage BRG’s to Drive Organizational Innovation”. Through our work together I received detailed organizational leadership strategies during our one-to-one meetings along with developmental exercises that offered key insights which gave me the foundation to become a more “Inclusive Leader”.
Our thought-provoking working sessions helped me build up my leadership strengths, take a deep introspective approach that forced me to challenge my point-of-view, while also giving me practical tools that were applicable for both current and future career growth. Johné’s executive coaching and advocacy on my behalf with leadership has been a tremendous value-add to my professional journey and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for executive coaching that will make a difference in their leadership style and drive innovation with their team.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Johné while he was at JCI. What an exceptional human being! We may hear the term "change agent" a lot lately. Johné is most assuredly the smartest and most passionate change agent I have ever met. He talks about changing the world - inspiring 10 million people in the next 10 years. He means it. He will do it. We talked a lot about engaging and inspiring human beings (whether they be called employees, sales or customers). He understands how to make this happen in talent acquisition, talent development, and talent engagement.
What a talent he is!
I had the opportunity to study in the field of corporate learning at the University of Pennsylvania with Johné. He has consistently demonstrated a very strong experience as a learning and business executive. Johné has also become recognized by his peers for his keen interest and expertise on the topics of diversity, and athletics coaching.
With a keen insight which quickly navigates SWOT analysis that provides valuable action plans that lead to success, Johné continually asserts his value to any organization. I have thoroughly enjoyed all work that has enabled me to engage teaming with Johné and look forward to the opportunity to do so again.
