“When we lead with humanity, empathy and embrace authentic individuality, then and only then will organizations experience unparalleled innovation, unprecedented results and unwavering employee loyalty.”

-Shayla Atkins

Organizations are not experiencing the results they desire and it’s costing them increased turnover, decreased employee engagement and loyalty, and stagnant innovation.

It’s common, for organizations to approach DE&I from a project and programmatic lens. With “feel good fluffy” program after program, basic mandatory training, and unrealistic ROI expectations; organizations are now forced to make a pivotal decision.

Led by internationally renowned diversity, equity, and inclusion expert, leadership coach, and global award-winning business strategist Shayla N. Atkins, The Atkins IMPACT believes in embedding DEI across the talent lifecycle of the employee experience and into the fabric of your culture without causing division or making it “a thing”. 

Through coaching, consulting, and speaking we tap into your leaders and HR organizations to develop inclusive leaders who lead with humanity first, empathy, vulnerability and who champion individuality, uniqueness, and fairness to create a culture where all employees can thrive.

“If employees have to assimilate as a pre-requisite for inclusion, organizations will never unlock and experience the full power of women”.

- Shayla N. Atkins

As a certified leadership coach and keynote speaker, Shayla is a true trailblazer, empowering women of color to break free from the chains of conformity and codeswitching to tap into their authenticity, individuality and harness it as their competitive advantage in business and career

  • Succeed on their own terms with key leadership skills
  • Build powerful and nourishing networks

The program doesn’t stop there, this immersive experience includes training the leaders of diverse women to lead with inclusivity, humanity, and cultural competence.

"Authenticity is the vehicle to millions. When women are in safe spaces and can unapologetically be themselves, they deliver unprecedented results, will give their unwavering loyalty, and build profitable, and sustainable businesses and careers.”

- Shayla N. Atkins
