Make slow DEI progress a thing of the past

Most organisations are still stuck in a cycle of inefficiency and confusion when it comes to DEI. CCWE’s competency-based approach is changing the story.

By 2030, the DEI industry is projected to be worth a staggering $25 billion. Yet research shows HR and DEI are the least trusted functions within a business. High turnover in DEI roles leads to organisational fatigue and low ROI.

So what’s not working? A Lack of Competency, Clarity, and Compliance.

Lack of Competency

Traditional DEI training falls short, offering a legal and research-based approach that doesn't bridge the gap between theory and practice. CCWE provides a practical, tactical, and operational solution. 

Lack of Clarity

Unclear strategies and ambiguity often reign supreme. With CCWE's Clarity Tools, including mapping resources and facilitator-guided journeys, your organisation gains a crystal-clear vision for DEI initiatives.

Lack of Compliance

Tick-box compliance is stigmatised, hindering progress. CCWE challenges this notion, offering compliance tools like the Workplace Equity Compliance Index Accreditation, providing a measurable benchmark for organisational maturity and sustainable strategies.

  • "A treasure trove of knowledge"

    “Ashanti is a leader and a treasure trove of knowledge on branding, leadership and 'owning' the online space when it comes to wanting to transform your online presence and brand. I have learnt so much from her in terms of levelling up my online 'presence' and the tools and strategies I need to put in place to strengthen and monetise my online skills and expertise. She gets you excited to 'overhaul' your brand and your business to get you to where you want to be in very strategic, clear and measurable ways. She has a real gift when it comes to identifying skill sets and how one can use their skill set to amplify their brand and business both offline and online.

  • "Ashanti was a fantastic speaker"

    “Ashanti was a fantastic speaker; engaging and informative at the same time. Ashanti delivered a keynote speech on inclusive communication with passion keeping our audience interested throughout. She also answered challenging questions, educating the audience whilst holding space for different perspectives. Her D&I expertise was first class and we would highly recommend her to other organisations.”

  • "Wow! It was amazing!"

    “Ashanti ran a session for the group at Start Up school on how to monetise online marketing events. Wow! It was amazing! Her presentation style was clear and dynamic and full of positive energy. She's a natural confidence builder and extremely likeable. I'd say she's one to watch with a strong vision. If you're struggling to bring in sales or sell tickets at events or to run them successfully, I recommend bringing her in to consult, run the event or she can even train you via her mastermind to do it. Either way, she is someone I highly recommend to have as part of your network“

  • "Reliable and Helpful"

    “Ashanti is an incredible connection and has been a great help to me, my business, and my partners in recent months. Using her latest knowledge on event platforms - and team experience to build and programme certain ones - knowing Ashanti and how reliable and helpful she is, will give any #eventprof the a huge head start on virtual events as we navigate digital disruption in our sector. We've also had various discussion on diversity in our industry and I love how Ashanti champions this so vocally. Thanks Ashanti for all that you do!”

  • "After 1 hour of speaking we felt inspired"

    “Ashanti is a breath of fresh air, and she is INCREDIBLY educated on diversity and Inclusion. After 1 hour of speaking to Ashanti we felt inspired, educated and focused to be better and make meaningful change. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to understand how to improve their D&l efforts.”

  • "Practical, proactive, and very encouraging."

    Wow - just came off a fantastic, insightful and inspiring call with Ashanti! Speaking to her during this current climate of "crisis and issues", the call was nothing short of refreshing, it was uplifting to speak to someone who is SOLUTIONS FOCUSED and a ray of positive energy. Her advice was practical, proactive, and very encouraging. She offers remarkably impressive insights into market growth, virtual online event strategy and tangible advice you can start doing immediately to support your events business. Her knowledge and expertise are relevant to both event organisers and suppliers and those within the supply chain like myself. She took the time to learn about my business and offered tailored and bespoke suggestions that were on point for the information I was hoping to learn.”

  • "Every member was a delight to deal with."

    “Good Soil Leaders provided nothing but value at the Future of HR Forum. Ashanti hosted both a top-tier panel session discussing the risk of deprioritising DEI initiatives during a recession, as well as a roundtable allowing our community to dig deeper into the daily challenges they’re facing. Not only was the feedback for both sessions hugely positive, but working with the GSL team was seamless and every member was a delight to deal with. We look forward to carrying our partnership forward to continue to provide thought leadership across our HR and Finance communities.”
