Our Impact & Services

Mission-driven organizations attract employees who want to do good in the world and with their work. Yet, their passion for the job doesn’t erase workplace conflict.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Often, the most challenging parts of our workday are the people interactions, not the technical work. We spend one-third of our lives at work.

It’s time for a new way of working—one that will improve the quality of our professional relationships and transform our lives. Imagine . . .

💡Giving consistent, unbiased, and actionable feedback for career growth opportunities 

💡Managers navigating employee conflicts before HR gets involved

💡Routinely filtering for biases to increase inclusive decision-making

💡Implementing emotional intelligence skills to have difficult conversations with kindness

💡Interrupting biases and microaggressions to increase employee engagement

This creates a psychologically safe workplace.

Growth-oriented people and organizations can create a psychologically safe workplace to make employees comfortable at work and more productive. 

The Ladipo Group is your partner in creating workplaces where everyone can thrive. Unlike traditional consulting companies, we understand human behavior and motivation to infuse this knowledge every step of the way.

Knowledge is Good, Behavior is Better

Learning new information and enhancing your knowledge are the starting points of change. Real and lasting change occurs when we change our behavior and take action.
