About

Education

I hold a Credential in Coaching, a Bachelor of Science in Business, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Finance, and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership.

At the request of the Boeing Diversity Organization, I developed and conducted lunchtime seminars on “Getting Ahead in Corporate America.” These seminars were open to all employees, with particular focus on supporting members of protected classes and Boeing’s affinity groups.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sharon White, PhD

Even though I know there is a real need for courageous conversations, I also recognize the difficulty people have with them.   I am exceptional at assisting business leaders and employees in creating the space for such conversations.  I am highly regarded as the definition of a ‘CORE Strategist’ and my company ‘Courageous Conversations LLC’ attests to that. My background encompasses over twenty-five (25) years of related experience within Management, Finance, Cultural Inclusion (CORE) and Education. 

Cultural Concerns

While an employee of Rockwell International I was responsible for creating and implementing strategies to ensure a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds.  My personal goal was to speak to the foundational values and norms of the organization (Culture), emphasize fair access and upward mobility for all (Opportunity), affirm varied identities and experiences (Respect) and to encourage proactive employee participation and shared responsibility (Engagement). I now refer to that as my CORE strategy.
