How Shannon Stone Consulting Approaches DEIB Strategy

Beyond strategy, the consultancy offers facilitation and advisory groups, including weekly on-campus sessions and summits that focus on diversity in career development and entrepreneurship. Shannon Stone-Winding also co-convenes the WonderWomen of Diversity group, which hosts panels and discussions featuring female leaders in DEIB.
