This club is based on concepts in LaTonya Wilkins' (@latonyawilkins) book Leading Below the Surface: How to Build Real (and Psychologically Safe) Relationships with People Who Are Different from You. The book takes a radical stance against the “surface-ness” of corporate culture and explores how highly rewarded behaviors are actually destroying organizations, blocking us all from creating truly diverse, equitable and inclusive cultures of belonging. Below the surface leaders are real leaders: they are reliable, equitable, aware, and loyal. They lead with empathy and foster relationships that are psychologically safe.

With a foreword by Amy Edmondson, author and Novartis Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School, this book is inspired by organizational culture research, social psychology and neuroscience frameworks. 

This club 🧡 will act as a sanctuary for purpose-driven and forward-thinking below the surface leaders. We will coach each other real time. We will share frustrating stories about surface leaders. We will discuss inspirational examples of below the surface leaders.

This club will not only change the way you think about corporate culture, but you will instantly activate opportunities to influence building real cultures of belonging while becoming even more authentic to who you truly are.
