About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Shakil Choudhury is an author and award-winning consultant with 30 years of experience in the field of change management, conflict transformation, community organizing and inclusion. Co-founder of Anima Leadership, he coaches executive teams and has worked with thousands of leaders across sectors in Canada and the United States. Shakil also facilitates dialogue processes to resolve inter-group conflict, having led projects internationally as well as with organizations locally.
Shakil is the author of the best-selling Deep Diversity: A Compassionate, Scientific Approach to Achieving Racial Justice. Written in an accessible, storytelling manner, many have called it a “breakthrough book" on issues of systemic racial discrimination due to its non-judgmental approach that integrates human psychology and neuroscience with critical race perspectives.
Shakil’s most challenging and rewarding management experience, however, involves his two high-spirited children repeatedly teaching him the humble lessons of fatherhood. When not being outsmarted by his kids, he spends time rehabbing aging body parts due to pickleball, trail running, or skiing.
