Join the CoachME Community and speaker Dr Aikyna Finch, PCC, Vice President of DEIB for International Coaching Federation (ICF) on Zoom 19 October 2026.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging work is at a defining moment. Organizations are navigating backlash, budget shifts, AI disruption, generational tension, and global complexity. Some are retreating. Others are reimagining.
This 60-minute talk explores the current state of DEIB with clarity and courage. No fluff. No fear-based rhetoric. Just facts, patterns, and forward strategy.
We will examine where DEIB stands today. The progress made, the performative practices exposed, the political pressures influencing corporate decisions, and the real data behind what is working and what is not. Participants will gain a grounded understanding of the systemic forces shaping inclusion efforts across industries.
Then we pivot.
Where is DEIB going? What will matter in 2026 and beyond? How will AI, global markets, workforce expectations, and leadership accountability reshape this work? What skills will inclusive leaders need? What infrastructure must organizations build if they want inclusion to move from statement to strategy?
This session reframes DEIB from a compliance initiative to a competitive advantage. From programming to systems. From performative to measurable. From reactive to regenerative.
Attendees will walk away with:
This is not about defending DEIB. It is about evolving it.
If organizations want sustainable culture, measurable belonging, and leadership that can navigate complexity, the future of DEIB must be intentional, intelligent, and integrated.
The question is not whether DEIB will change. It already is.
The question is whether we will lead the change.
