How KEIRUS BY KJE Creates Measurable Impact Through

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

On the heels of two years of social and racial unrest, a Plano-based DEI firm is using technology to help companies build inclusive and respectful workplaces through compassion and human connectivity

 

PLANO, Texas – For the last two years, the demand for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consulting and training was unprecedented. One DEI firm has chosen a quality over quantity approach to bring about workplace culture transformation through human connection. To highlight its innovative methods, KJE Consulting & Coaching is now KEIRUS BY KJE.

 

Ignited by a string of social justice crises and a global health pandemic, KJE experienced a surge of interest from organizations looking to increase their efforts to build a diverse and inclusive environment. As the DEI space continues to evolve and the bar continues to rise amid complex workplace and economic issues, Kelley Johnson and her team recognized the need to optimize what they do while authentically communicating who they’ve always been.

 

Johnson, founder and CEO, states, “We have been fortunate to guide diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for clients in a number of industries over the years. Those experiences have taught us that episodic and transactional programs do not transform the culture of an organization. As individuals embrace the DEI journey through our training and coaching solutions, the entire workplace begins to transform into a positive and more productive environment. Those investments impact the top and bottom line.”

 

As a former chief diversity officer, Johnson seized the opportunity to start her own firm in 2015, with a mission to give more companies access to the resources, knowledge and support they needed to move the needle in DEI.

 

KEIRUS BY KJE is repositioning itself as a technology-based DEI firm to provide more organizations with strategic support and customized experiences for their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The firm’s shift ushers in a new era as it approaches its seventh year in business; however, the firm will remain true to its client value proposition.

 

“Our clients appreciate that we are adaptive, not cookie-cutter. We combine expertise and credibility with integrity to provide a clear path and process to achieve results,” affirms Johnson.

 

The addition of KEIRUS to the KJE moniker, derives from the Greek word charis pronounced "care-us" meaning grace, goodwill and kindness. It embodies the firm’s fundamental values of humility and commitment to maximize human capabilities through authenticity, compassion and continuous learning.

 

Johnson continues, “We needed a name that reflects our internal values, as well as the unique value we provide to our clients.”

The Bullet Points You Didn't See On That Job Promotion

By 183:896864358 • January 16, 2025
The pay increase and perks of a job promotion carry a price. If you don’t want to pay it, you may need to rethink your career aspirations. As I look back at the teams I’ve led and leaders I’ve coached, I discovered a gap with how people navigate career advancement. When someone gets a promotion, they usually want it for the prestige of the title, the increase in pay, and/or the recognition for their hard work. The focus is often on what the promotion will do for them. How their lifestyle will improve with the extra money. How they will potentially receive elevated treatment from others in the organization. When I coach aspiring leaders, they seem to look at only one side of the promotion coin – the shiny one. The other side of the leadership promotion coin is rather dull. This side is sometimes ignored or dismissed until it’s too late. What, you ask, is on the less shiny side of the leadership coin? The invisible bullet points on the job description. Top 10 Invisible Bullet Points on any Leadership Job Description You will need to learn new ways of doing. You will need to manage relationships differently. You will need to coach and develop others. You will need to have hard conversations. You will need to make tough decisions. You will need to live your values as you lead. You will need to model the organization’s values. You will need to be okay with not being liked sometimes. You will need to increase your capacity. You will need to strengthen your resiliency. If you choose to advance in leadership, your first step is to look in the mirror. Be ready to refine and evolve how you show-up, how you think, communicate, and engage. A promotion, in many ways, should be a reset for you.

Beyond Buzzwords: Real Stories of Transformational Leadership in Action

By 183:896864358 • November 18, 2024
In recent years, especially post-COVID, the word transformation has become a buzzword across various industries. Personal trainers use this word to describe the physical metamorphosis they’ll help you achieve, and organizations use it to outline how they'll leverage technology, particularly in the age of AI. Beyond physical and technological change, transformation takes on new significance in the realm of leadership—specifically, transformational leadership. We often see the term in leadership contexts, but what does it truly mean? The concept of transformational leadership has been around for quite some time, originally coined by sociologist James V. Downton in 1973. Over the years, the defining qualities of a transformational leader have evolved to become, at their core, leaders who focus on the essential needs of their followers. Today, it’s more relevant than ever. My own journey toward becoming a transformational leader was unplanned, and something I only fully recognized in hindsight. It evolved in ways I never anticipated. Around 2003, I was working for a global company as the director of corporate communications. That year, we conducted our first large-scale employee engagement survey. As we analyzed the results, some findings were predictable. Typical areas like pay and benefits ranked in the bottom quartile, representing the lowest-rated aspects of employee satisfaction. However, there was one surprising item in the Bottom 5 for employee satisfaction: a question about whether employees felt good about the company’s contributions to the community. This result was unsettling to our executive team because, truthfully, it uncovered something we had not anticipated. At the time, giving back to the community on a company level was not a priority. Somehow, I was tasked with finding a solution, and at first, I didn’t know where to start.
