Learning Strategy and Design
Learning Strategy and Design
Leslie Aguilar is the Design Lead for Diversity & Inclusion Center’s learning solutions. She is known as one of the most creative and impactful instructional designers in the DE&I arena. Leslie first honed her Learning and Development skills with The Disney Company (Disney University – Curriculum Development & Quality Control, and Disneyland Paris – Human Resources) with a focus on Employee Onboarding, the Guest Experience, Leadership Development and Intercultural Competence. She and her team have since developed DE&I learning solutions for clients across a broad range of industry sectors.
Leslie collaborates with a diverse team of subject matter experts to create targeted custom solutions that meet each client’s specific needs. Through our blended learning tools — books, videos, eLearning, assessment instruments, curriculum design, facilitation, Train-The-Trainer certification / coaching — the Diversity & Inclusion Center team has helped individuals and organizations elevate their performance.
Before rolling out custom or off-the-shelf learning solutions within an organization, we work with our clients to create a Learning Strategy. This strategic learning approach integrates the learning solution(s) into the organizational culture, aligned with the organization’s mission and values, key business needs and objectives, and existing performance and learning initiatives.

Navigating Conscious and Unconscious Bias in the Customer Experience
I invited Leslie Aguilar to facilitate the DiversiScan™ workshop as the keynote for the 2016 Diversity Research Symposium. DiversiScan™ adapted well to an academic setting. It is a comprehensive, flexible, highly adaptable road map that allows people in all tiers of an organization to make valuable input regarding the current state of affairs and future priorities of diversity.
The instrument design is excellent, and the method of implementing it permits people of different ranks to come together comfortably and create honest exchange, leading to insight and synergy.
Highly important in the success of this model is facilitation. I had the good fortune to have Leslie Aguilar facilitate the workshop. Among her many strengths include her thorough advance research into the background of an organization, which she uses to adjust DiversiScan™ to particular settings. On site, we benefited from Leslie's experience, charisma, approachability, and skill at facilitation.
I was pleased with the results and recommend DiversiScan™ as a way to effectively map diversity goals, needs, and accomplishments in any setting.
