​True influence doesn’t come from authority—it comes from trust, authenticity, and inclusion. In today’s diverse workplaces, leaders who know how to recognize unconscious bias and foster psychological safety are the ones who inspire loyalty, unlock innovation, and create lasting impact.

In this interactive 60 minute online workshop, leadership coach Dean Rasmussen will reveal three powerful secrets to becoming an inclusive leader who people want to follow. Through real-world examples, reflective exercises, and practical tools, you’ll discover how to:

  • Identify the hidden ways unconscious bias affects your leadership.

  • Build psychological safety so your team feels confident speaking up and sharing ideas.

  • Create influence rooted in authenticity and inclusion—not authority or perfection.

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or coach ready to grow your influence and leave a legacy of impact, this workshop is for you.
