Our Beliefs Around DEI:

• Diversity, equity, and inclusion processes are rooted in questions of ethics and values

• We are deeply impacted by racism: personally, emotionally, societally, and organizationally

• Efforts to move both individuals, groups and organizations forward in DEI take care, effort an investment of time and deep commitment

• DEI requires a strong partnership between the CEO, HR and DEI consultants

 Our Approach/Principles:

• The process is co-created. Our consultants work with the clients to:

  • determine the actions steps.

  • assess what is learned from each step

  • and determine what shifts need to be made in terms of subsequent steps.

• Both clients and consultants are on-going learners. Every person, every group and every situation are unique. Some actions will go smoothly, and many will be challenging and disruptive. We are all “works-in-progress” and will be learning along the journey.

• DEI work is hard work, and it is emotional work. It takes significant amounts of energy along the way.

• DEI is a long-term commitment. It will take months and years to make in-depth and permanent progress for personal, cultural, and structural change. It took hundreds of years to reach the current state. It will take multiple years to re-work our situations - and the effort is worth it.
