The National Leadership Association for Young Black Men and Women
“Every person should be able to fulfil their potential at work, regardless of their background, identity or circumstance. But we know that isn’t the case currently. Black and minority ethnic (BME) individuals in the UK are both less likely to get in and get on in the workplace compared with their white counterparts. One in eight of the working-age population is from a BME background, yet they occupy only one in sixteen of top management positions. You just have to look at the make-up of UK boards to know there’s a significant problem with racial inequality”.

Leadership Coaching and Mentoring Schemes
We provide leadership coaching and mentoring opportunities for young black professionals
Our mentoring programmes are designed to provide young black professionals with guidance, support and insights from experienced black executive leaders who understand the challenges that professionals face in the UK. The mentors take a holistic approach to career development. Our coaching programme seeks to improve the performance of young black leaders in their workplace.
Both our mentoring programmes and our coaching programmes are of six months duration. They are mainly delivered in small groups, thus enabling mentees to gain insights from the mentor as well as from their peers. This supports and develops diversity of thinking, practice and understanding.
