DEI COACHING & EDUCATION

ORGANIZATIONS THRIVE WHEN THEIR PEOPLE GROW.

Dr. Alejandra Mielke

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION COACHING AND EDUCATION

My name is Dr. Alejandra Rodríguez Mielke, and I am a Leadership Coach and DEI Consultant. I’ve been featured in Forbes, and have worked with clients in the higher education and non-profit space, as well as leaders in mid-size tech companies.

Through my DEI work, I promote organizations’ ability to include historically excluded populations in decision-making processes, promote fair and impartial practices, and endorse the equitable distribution of resources, knowledge, and opportunities.

My strengths are my analytical and systems-oriented mind along with my people’s skills that have successfully allowed me to quickly identify and eliminate the noise and confusion that can sometimes surface in highly dynamic settings, large and small, by staying clearly focused on people, their wellbeing, their development, and their growth while increasing DEI knowledge and expertise across the organization. 

Let’s talk.

 

Make this the year you maximize the impact of STRONG DEI INITIATIVES in your organization

AND link YOUR EFFORTS more closely to your business objectives.

  • Build a culture of belonging and inclusivity

  • Retain top talent by optimizing people’s personal wellbeing, on-the-job performance and satisfaction

  • Reduce employee attrition and increase employee participation and contribution

  • Avoid costly lawsuits

  • Foster safe spaces for learning, mentorship and recruitment

  • Increase overall organizational productivity and impact.

EDUCATION & TRAINING

 

Over my career, I’ve facilitated and delivered more than 1000 hours of training sessions nationally and internationally. Utilizing researched-based approaches and knowledge, I create custom-tailored learning and consulting experiences that allow participants to learn from each other, increase awareness, build capacity, and develop intentionality, ownership, and lasting change.

 

“WORKING WITH A RACIAL EQUITY LENS in the 21st century”

How to understand and implement a racial equity lens for the true advancement of all.

“THE LEADER YOU MEANT TO BECOME”

How to recognize and mitigate your own biases on the way to becoming a more inclusive leader.

“Leveraging Latina Leadership DURING CHALLENGING TIMES”

How to untap the Latina potential in your organization in the era of quitting contagions and ‘the Great Resignation.’

“power, privilege and microaggresions”

How to identify and mitigate the power imbalances that show up as microaggressions in your organizations.

 

I am available for onsite and offsite workshops and training sessions.

INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP Coaching

Inclusive Leadership Coaching is the next step in DEI work once training has been taken and strategy has been identified. Through Inclusive Leadership Coaching, ingrained beliefs, assumptions, and blocks that hold back true diverse and inclusive contexts can be brought to light and discussed in an open, frank and confidential context.

My Inclusive Leadership Coaching program for executives and high-level managers helps them identify a path forward to create and manage inclusive workplaces that welcome, recognize, and validate diverse potential and talent. As a result, leaders… 

  • develop greater self-awareness and become conscious of default tendencies that guide their decisions and actions

  • find an inclusive leadership style that motivates a diverse workforce and leverages diversity

  • understand and manage global environments across cultures

  • re-create their ideal image of themselves and their role

Inclusive Leadership Coaching will bring a higher degree of transformation to your organization and will help you re-emerge as a powerful Inclusive Leader who's culturally competent, fearless, and knowledgeable as you continue working towards a more equitable and inclusive society.
