Biography

Vernice believes that leaders can learn to expand their impact through presence, connection, and awareness across contexts. With over 20 years of experience working with global Fortune 500 companies and large nonprofits, Vernice Jones creates experiential leadership programs and leadership development solutions that connect and drive business results. 

Vernice is a Director and Faculty of Human and Adult Development at Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership. She is an associate at Cultivating Leadership, a global, deliberately developmental, complexity-based organization. Vernice is currently co-faculty of the ground breaking Leading Inclusively Lab, Wisdom in Leadership and core faculty of Conversations at the Growth Edge series, both through Cultivating Leadership.

Vernice began envisioning Women Circles, Women of Color Circles and Leader of Influence Circles in the early days of the global pandemic, as she witnessed her clients—particularly her female clients—struggling to deal with their own grief and anxiety while taking care of the many others in their lives. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder in the U.S., and as the grief compounded, she started her first global circle for Women of Color. Her goal was simple: to give leaders a place to be in community and hold space for one another, network and leverage their collective intelligence and power.

Answer Questions

Do you question whether you can help clients of a different identity of religion to yourself? The key to overcoming this doubt is to invite diversity into your coaching, and extract strengths and advantages from those nuances.  

In this session, you’ll learn to work with a client’s identity and culture fully, increasing awareness for both you and the client. You’ll also learn to recognize when a client is speaking from identity, culture or context.

  1. Learn practical ways to invite identity, context and culture in your coaching engagements.
  2. Help clients know when they are speaking from identity, culture or context, when they are speaking from their essence and how to know the difference.
  3. Experience the felt sense of expansiveness while in a challenging context.
  4. Learn practical strategies to resource your clients when they feel limited by context (through thoughts, feelings, limiting mindsets and access).
