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

experience as a management consultant, diversity and

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

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.

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

IL, with her family.
