Who We Are

Legacy Unlimited is an international diversity and leadership consulting community that provides individuals distinctive, life changing experiences, in which leaders can reflect, discover, and choose how to fully use their talents for the world.

Our Commitment

To have a significant, positive, and permanent impact on individuals and organizations by:

  • changing hearts to care deeply
  • creating an environment where breakthrough results are delivered
  • institutionalizing deep caring and respect
  • teaching leaders to value high performance, diversity, and inclusion
  • believing in excellence in all we do and teaching all to give their best
  • building internal capability to sustain change
  • believing that empowering personal dreams will allow collective dreams to be achieved

What Makes Us Different?

In a global market there are few remaining trade secrets that give one a strategic advantage. We have found one under-utilized secret that continues to give strategic advantage; it is unleashing the full potential of all people. We believe that to truly deliver step change, sustainable results in diversity and inclusion you must reach individuals at the heart level. Organizations have been making great progress in the field of diversity and inclusion, learning to unleash the power of all individuals within their organizations. But studies show that even the best organizations are still only capitalizing on 60-70% of the talent of their people.

Our unique, transformational workshops are designed to drive step-change, sustained commitment to diversity and inclusion from all individuals within your organization. These transformational workshops provide in-depth learning and focus on the role every one of us has in breaking down barriers, no matter who we are. We make inclusion not about “us” and “them” but about “all of us” and the role each of us plays in making the workplace a genuinely inclusive place to be. We move people beyond the practical understanding of diversity and inclusion to truly understanding at the heart level the powerful difference an inclusive workplace can provide.

Legacy's History

Legacy Unlimited’s signature program offerings, the “Women Supporting Women©” (WSW©) and “People Supporting People©” (PSP©) workshops, were created in 1991 within Procter & Gamble(P&G). WSW© and PSP© became P&G’s top corporate initiative in 1999 and continues as its top corporate initiative today. This initiative is designed to drive diversity and inclusion progress, leadership development, cultural change, and globalization and business success. P&G has spent $17million dollars on this initiative since 1991 and continues spending $1.2 million per year.

In 2005, the then Global Leader for these programs, Ms. Denise Andrews, left P&G to found Legacy Unlimited. Based on her extensive history and success with these programs, Procter &Gamble chose Legacy Unlimited to be the exclusive provider for delivering their breakthrough WSW© / PSP© courses externally.

Procter & Gamble’s research found that for every 1,000 people trained, they realized $45 million(USD) per year in savings. These savings resulted from participants’ improvements in productivity, more effective relationships with co-workers, improved retention, and risk reduction.

In addition they gained:

  • Deeper insights to meet local and global consumer needs
  • Improved innovation
  • Improved integration of acquisitions
  • Improved utilization, retention, and productivity
  • A stronger pool of diverse executives
  • Increased leadership mastery and passion to unleash personal and collective potential
  • More people positioned to be great leaders
  • Improved and sustained results

These workshops continue to see tremendous success and have now been brought to over 8,000 people in more than 103 countries. They have been successfully conducted in the United States, Canada, Japan, France, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Belgium, Switzerland, China, Mexico, Venezuela, Korea, Egypt, Poland, Lebanon, Morocco, Argentina, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Romania, the U.A.E, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Hungary and Brazil.

While WSW© / PSP© remain Legacy Unlimited’s signature offerings, we have now expanded well beyond these offerings to include a full complement of diversity and inclusion programs, leadership development, as well as consulting services.

Consulting Services Overview


Our consulting services are called CUSTOMIZED CONNECTIONS© through which potential clients identify or share the challenges that they are facing and together, we create programs that will be impactful.

Preparing diverse leaders to be brilliant, caring and respecting of all individuals, locally and globally, is a critical component of great leadership and sustained great performance. The leaders, also, must instill one common culture of high performance and inclusion for sustained corporate success.  Succession planning and “pipeline” development is critical to future success.  These transformational leadership and diversity development interventions have proven to be a powerful approach to increasing a leader’s effectiveness and impact.  A recent five year study, conducted by Jim Collins in the book, “Good to Great”, concluded that companies with this key leadership profile had cumulative stock returns 6.9 times greater than the general stock market over a 15 year period.

Some of the consulting solutions already in place are:

Diversity Inclusion Assessments©
Legacy Unlimited provides in-depth assessments to help your organization determine how to optimize the effectiveness of its diversity and inclusion efforts to ensure maximum, lasting impact. Working with your organization we will explore the current business results, culture, diversity and inclusion capabilities, and systems already in place.  We will, also, explore the opportunities that exist to strengthen your diversity and inclusion efforts, resulting in a sustained increase in business results. We will recommend, and develop with you, the best practices, appropriate business linkages, systems, and talent development programs for your organization’s specific needs.

Executive Partnerships©
Legacy Unlimited provides executives and executive teams with personal coaches that have mastery, commitment, and global experience. Our customized approach begins with a comprehensive management assessment across key variables, such as result achievement, thinking style, cultural competency, and collaboration. Based on the assessment findings, we customize a powerful leadership development curriculum. This approach has proven to be globally effective in increasing executive performance and impact.  Studies have shown that one of the most consistent contrasts between good and great companies is the quality of the leadership.  Investing in the future leaders of your organization must be a priority to enable continued success.

Community Centric Development©
There is a critical need to provide “community specific development” experiences and solutions. There are unique challenges within various communities and solutions must be tailored to specifically address these defined communities. There are, also, common development needs; however, the unique needs of specific communities and affinity groups with regard to their socialization and current equity must be addressed. This approach will accelerate the usage of the top global talent that is available within all communities. Legacy Unlimited has extensive experience with regard to various cultures and communities i.e. Women, Men, African Americans, Latin Americans, Asians, Europeans, Middle Easterners, Africans, Canadians, and Generations. We are equipped to create customized solutions for your targeted global leadership developmental candidates from any strategic community.

Competitive Positioning©
In our Competitive Positioning© portfolio, we offer select clients expertise in “The Art and Science of Great Leadership”, “High Performance Organizations”, and “Cultural Transformations”.  We provide a current state assessment, including an understanding of your aspirations, then recommend proven leadership and management approaches to help you achieve your goals.  The legends in any profession uniquely blend mastery, love, discipline, boldness, design, and faith to achieve success. Competitive Positioning© brings together the analysis, architecture, soul, and leadership components necessary to achieve new dreams.

Ethics
We are having unprecedented challenges in our businesses, economies, and governments with failed ethics in leadership. We will teach and ground leaders and organizations in the ethics necessary for success and sustainability. We can also asses and provide additional solutions to ensure that strong ethics are thoroughly in place throughout policy, culture, and leadership.

We are a community of international consultants with over 500 collective years of experience across many fields and have affiliations with other international experts.
