What is I.D.E.A.L. Rebel?

If you’ve ever had someone advocate for you in your career, fight for your promotion when others said it could wait until after your parental leave or assign you a stretch goal to help you reach your potential, congratulations. It’s a rare story to have a leader like that in your corner.

Leaders like this who challenge the status quo, amplify underrepresented voices and take calculated risks on good talent are who we respectfully call I.D.E.A.L. Rebels: Inclusion Diversity Equity Access Leadership Rebels. 

I.D.E.A.L. Rebels—role models unafraid to create friction, ask questions and act to improve workplaces — have a space here to celebrate their lived experience and be at the heart of the change.

Rebels Welcome Here. Let's Take Action.

If you like what you see here and you want to share your rebellious story and learn how we can help you find your inner I.D.E.A.L. Rebel and strengthen your I.D.E.A.L. Workplace, contact us.

When most people think of a “rebel,” they think of a troublemaker–someone who doesn’t like to follow instructions and causes inconvenient disruptions. But that’s not entirely accurate. Rebels are fearless and never compromise individuality. Rebels add value when they actively figure out how to use their tendencies for the better. They create a sense of excitement and a vision that people can get behind.
