Dr. Leslye Kornegay – Management, Organizational Development, Cultural Intelligence, and Executive Leadership Dr. Leslye Kornegay understands the challenges of breaking barriers, having been the first and only Black woman in her field at multiple points in her career. She serves as an executive director at Duke University and as a faculty member at both Langston University and Champlain College. An influential voice in cultural intelligence, executive leadership, and organizational development, she is the author of Leading to Change the World: One Black Woman’s Journey Leading in PWIs and has contributed to several collaborative works. Her thought leadership extends to social media, where she shares insightful perspectives on leadership and career advancement. Through dynamic workshops and engaging presentations, Dr. Kornegay inspires and empowers professionals to navigate their paths confidently and resiliently. Prediction: In 2025, federal executive orders reshaping policies on education, diversity, and workforce development will drive a surge of nontraditional learners returning to higher education. Both individuals and organizations will seek new certifications and programs in high-growth fields such as artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, marketing, technology, quantum science, and engineering. Higher education has a unique opportunity to pivot and embrace these learners, equipping them with the skills needed to become self-employed, shift careers, and redefine the workforce landscape. Institutions that proactively adapt to this shift will be at the forefront of the next phase of workforce development.
