New Program to Develop Executives and Enhance Inclusive Leadership

CNEXT, a cutting-edge leadership development and networking business, introduces ADVOCATE. This new enterprise solution equips VP+ leaders with the skills to integrate and leverage inclusive leadership principles to enhance profitability, company culture, and competitive advantage. ADVOCATE guides company cohorts through a development journey, enabling the full integration of transformative, inclusive leadership for sustained success.

This program was created in response to demand from companies familiar with CNEXT's Inclusive Manager series, who sought a full-scale solution for their executive leaders. Building on the success of the Inclusive Manager approach, ADVOCATE offers a comprehensive solution specifically for VP+ leaders, equipping them with the skills necessary to implement inclusive leadership principles effectively. This approach accelerates organizational transformation by building momentum that will drive inclusion and engagement throughout the enterprise, resulting in greater performance.

This initiative follows the success of GENERATE, CNEXT’s inaugural program, which offers senior executives essential leadership development and networking opportunities in today’s complex business environment. Subsequently, ACCELERATE was introduced to empower underrepresented mid-level leaders through targeted assessments and development. Each program uniquely contributes to enhancing leadership capabilities and fostering organizational growth.

“ADVOCATE is designed to ready organizations for the future of leadership by building an environment where every individual feels valued and where they can contribute at their highest levels,” says Cheryl Stokes, CNEXT CEO. “This program is built on practices that not only shape the future of leadership but also drive business success.”

Available to VP+ leaders, ADVOCATE ensures their collective efforts and behavioral changes have a lasting, sustainable impact. Participants gain awareness from evidence-based research and learn best practices to apply in their daily work and team interactions. Leaders become more effective and impactful by fostering a sense of belonging and leveraging their teams’ strengths, which leads to enhanced performance.
