Empowering Women & People of Color: Leading the AI Revolution for a Sustainable Future
We are a global organization with a mission to advance AI leadership development among women of color. Our primary objective is to integrate advanced technology concepts into leadership development programs, aiming to amplify the progress of women of color in organizational leadership roles. By nurturing these emerging leaders, we can address the global talent shortage and greatly enhance organizational diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, as well as foster innovation and ideation related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. Our ultimate goal is to drive positive change and create a more inclusive and sustainable future.
This isn’t just Future of Work; this is leveling up - Future of Global Prosperity
The Dilemma
The Global Talent Dilemma – The problem is not just an under-skilled workforce– it’s the uninspired, underutilized and underappreciated
Ignoring the world’s educational and reskilling needs to keep pace with the hyper speed global technology developments and demands has led countries to our current state: a global talent shortage and huge deficiencies in capabilities. At the same time the world has ignored the motivated and passionate too. To advance diversity and increase motivation and inspiration is not easy, but ignoring people of color for decades has led us to the massive global deficiency. It won’t take a week or a year to fix this. But it must start now, by integrating high tech adoption expertise in people of color and motivating younger generations with inspired leadership capabilities who can mentor.
Today its more than a talent shortage. Many decades of bias, discrimination, inequality and inequity has led many countries to experience a host of interconnected human capital issues:
The Solution
Phoenix Rizing aims to solve the talent shortage while addressing the inequality and inequity gap by developing motivational and inspirational HCM business capabilities integrated with AI expertise.
By developing people of color advanced technology performers and leaders who can compete on the world’s best organizational strategy stages, we can fulfill the talent shortage and usher in new era of mentoring leaders who can motivate and inspire teams of innovators
The Learning Capabilities
We integrate AI x L&L into three areas of focus with increasing importance for organizations in the coming years for growth, innovation and progress:
Workforce Inclusion – Women and People of Color have long been ignored from technology and innovation conversations – and thus hiring. In the past, many have said they did not have the requisite skills because they were not in those fields. We aim to end that excuse and AI is a powerful ally in the DEIB strategy for TA (acquire) L&D (train) and TM (promote).

By developing new AI X DEI mindsets that inspire and create engagement for Talent Retention and Inclusion while ensuring AI is being governed and appropriately used by intelligent leaders with emotional intelligence and technical expertise
Employee Engagement and Experience – This measure is the lifeblood of ideation and innovation, but companies rarely produce high degrees of it. Hence EX scores for every year of this century have never been higher than 38% and ending this year, 2021, it’s now 20%. It doesn’t come as any shock – companies have not prioritized job satisfaction. efforts or employee upskilling for decades. We saw the Great Resignation coming. Organizations and employees do not want exclusion. Exclusion is fundamentally negative and thus taps into brain negativity. Inclusion is intrinsic and taps into positive brain activity.
*EX x AI – Giving executive leaders AI expertise integrated into their core business functions and hence inspiring and motivating their employees and high performer young talent to ideate, innovate and believe in their capabilities to understand and promote their ideas.

The Greatest Opportunity of our Lifetime
Phoenix Rizing is the brain child of Vinay Singh, who states that “In just over two decades our society has endured three recessions and we have also gone from two-to-four working generations.
As a global society, we’ve dropped the ball in not prioritizing the people reskilling and on-going developmental learning needs – specifically during-and-after the first two recessions. Historically we can also see that organizational culture prioritizes trillions for continuous technical systems upgrading, yet we forget our workforce.
After the recent centennial pandemic year, organizations learned the astronomical costs of inequality and inequity. The fundamental truth: Decades of deprioritizing groups of people costs nations trillions of dollars – every single calendar year.
- Unskilled populations cost organizations trillions in lost ideation, production and innovation.
- Resolving Discriminatory culture could generate enough GDP to resolve national deficits.
- Advancing ignored human populations presents the greatest opportunity in the history of work.
All generations have a desire to learn, develop and have job satisfaction. All generations want to make higher level decisions, feel valued, move up in their careers – not just one generation. When organizations don’t provide this or deny opportunity to learn, grow and move up, employees leave. And when employees don’t feel connected, motivated or passionate, again, they leave.
If there is ever a moment in time to prioritize advancing upskilling in learning and leadership, in both high technology and developmental DEI and Belonging above all, it is this centennial societal disruption.
And, if there is one thing to learn from the global pandemic, it is that antiquated thinking from last century must be reimagined now to advance innovation, motivation and prosperity.
This cannot be overstated
