“Developing the next generation of leaders” 2

About Our Company

DeEtta Jones and Associates is a leading force in

shaping contemporary thinking and practice

around integrated and sustainable approaches to

personal transformation, workplace culture,

diversity inclusion and equity.

Our work with hundreds of organizations in many

sectors and across the world has led us to one

conclusion—we are at a threshold. This threshold

will either be the outermost limit of our ability to

adapt and thrive in today’s face-paced world, or

the breakthrough to a new era filled with

invigorating ideas, access to diverse thinking and

skills and the possibility for manifesting our

desires. Our commitment is to the latter, and we

know that a new approach is needed.

We describe this new approach as next

generation leadership, which encompasses our

on-going commitment to build capacity across

seven key areas:

1. Disciplined Practice

2. Managerial Excellence

3. Intentional Leadership

4. Active Learning

5. Entrepreneurial Prowess

6. Holistic Approach

7. Global Mindset

For over 20 years, DeEtta Jones has guided people and

organizations through the process of fundamental

transformation. She has been a leading voice in shaping

contemporary thinking and practice around integrated

and sustainable approaches to personal transformation,

workplace culture, diversity and inclusion. Her years of

experience as a management consultant, diversity and

inclusion educator, organization development and

training professional have led to her being one of the

most sought after speakers and consultants in her field.

She brings a holistic approach to her work that stems from her belief that there is wisdom in many fields and

breakthroughs live at the intersection.

Libraries, an international not-for-profit representing the largest research institutions in North America. In

these roles DeEtta was called upon as a thought-leader to set direction for the design and oversight of more

than 9 international leadership programs, as well as a suite of professional development services including

training and organization development. Prior to this, she was and Director of Human Rights Advocacy and

Education for the City of Fort Collins and Director of Multicultural Education at Colorado State University.

DeEtta has served as an adjunct faculty member, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on

leadership and diversity, at Colorado State University and University of Maryland, College Park. She is a

certified administrator of the Center for Creative Leadership’s suite of assessment tools, the Intercultural

Development Inventory (IDI), the Intercultural Conflict Style (ICS) Inventory, as well as a host of other

validated and heavily used instruments in the leadership development arena.

DeEtta has a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s degree in student affairs in higher education from

Colorado State University, and an MBA from The Johns Hopkins University. She lives outside of Chicago,

IL, with her family.

DeEtta has been called upon to speak to audiences

around the world on topics including diversity, equity and

social justice; increasing employee engagement; fostering

an environment that nurtures creativity and innovation;

and transforming workplace culture.

Customized Leadership Development Programs

We have designed and facilitated more a dozen

leadership programs for clients. The benefits of

this approach to you are:

You set the objectives. Programs are designed

specifically to advance individual, group and

organizational goals important to your business.

Design and schedule are in sync with

your organization’s schedule and

local norms.

Participants are able to practice using new

awareness and skills learned real-time in their

leadership roles.

The next generation of leaders has a

complex set of tasks and relationships to

navigate, in environments that are always

shifting. Investing time in leadership

development may feel like a luxury, but its

now more than ever a necessity.



Leadership Development Learning Process

WE USE TIME TESTED APPROACHES

Participants will be encouraged to

share resources and seek

opportunities to collaborate in

ways that are meaningful to their

individual divisions as well as to

the overall goals. Structured

experiences will be explored and

designed with input from your

organizations representatives and

leadership program participants.

Cross-Division Collaboration

Participants will take advantage of the

opportunity to reflect, individually and with

colleagues from across the organization,

including employees from their various

divisions. This learning space, in-person and

virtual, will provide the structured space so

often lacking in executive’s busy lives—time

to reflect and think strategically. Structured

reflection exercises are provided to ensure

maximum support and take-aways from each

session, and the learning will be iterative

over the course of the program year.

Designated Time for Reflection

and Shared Experience

This immersive experience is meant to

focus more heavily on personal

learning and reflection than providing

participants with magic bullets. Each

session will expose participants to new

content that incorporates ideas for

immediate use and will include

structured activities and suggestions for

application.

Practical Application

Design is based on the most current and

authoritative research available in the fields

of leadership and management,

organizational development, psychology,

business and organizational culture.

Participants will develop a toolkit of

resources for their use and potentially

coaching their employees. Your organization

will build within its executive team a sense of

shared language, values and approaches to

organizational leadership and strategy.
