LETTER TO EMPLOYER

Dear [MANAGER’S NAME],

I would like your approval to attend the ModelExpand Inclusive Leadership Workshop Series on [ENTER DATE]. This virtual workshop is dedicated to equipping individuals with the foundational knowledge to cultivate inclusive leadership skills and foster diversity and belonging within teams. It offers a comprehensive curriculum that explores various aspects of inclusive leadership, such as recognizing and mitigating bias, practicing allyship and strategies to embed in my day-to-day leadership

ModelExpand has worked with a range of organizations including small, growing startups to Fortune 500 companies on their Inclusive hiring and leadership efforts. Some example employers they have worked with include Google, Davidson College, Gap, Lucasfilm, and Exelixis.

The best part about this series is that it is small in size. I’ll have the opportunity to get tailored answers for our particular workplace challenges. Through the content presented in the sessions, we will have the research, case studies, and resources that will help us empower our own leadership. My purpose in attending this is to help develop my leadership skills with a special focus on:

  • How to embed inclusion within my management style

  • Learn how to make decisions informed by diverse perspectives and consider the needs of all team members.

  • Model inclusion in meetings, feedback and task assignments

Since our company is prioritizing diversity and inclusion, My attendance at the training will directly influence how I lead and manage teams. When I return from the training, I’m happy to share takeaways with the team, including those practices we can implement immediately. 

The event registration is [ENTER PRICE], a great value and price offer.

There are very few spots since these workshops are conducted in small groups.

You can learn more about the training on the [INCLUDE LINK TO WORKSHOP PAGE]  and you can learn more about ModelExpand here.

Thank you for taking the time to review this request, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

[YOUR NAME]
