Diversity is the mix. Inclusion is making the mix work. – Andres Tapia
When we work and learn with people who are different from us, we are more likely to solve problems creatively, enhance our critical thinking skills, and develop our strengths as teachers and learners.
Celebrating Diversity and Fostering Equity
As an educator and DEI trainer, I celebrate diversity, foster equity, and support inclusion. I am aware that the diverse backgrounds and voices in our community make us stronger and better equipped to make positive impacts globally.
Global Experience and Expertise
I have worked with many global organizations and presented to numerous leaders to help create more inclusive environments.
Areas of Training
I provide expert training in DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) with a focus on:
- Unconscious Bias: Helping individuals and organizations recognize and mitigate unconscious biases that affect decision-making and interactions.
- Cultural Competence: Enhancing the ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures.
- Inclusive Leadership: Developing leadership skills that promote inclusion and equity within organizations.
- Women’s Advancement: Supporting the professional growth and leadership development of women in various fields.
- Authentic Leadership: Encouraging leaders to be true to themselves and lead with integrity and authenticity.
- Allyship/Co-Conspiratorship/Abolitionism: Promoting active support and advocacy for marginalized groups and working towards systemic change.
By integrating these principles and practices into educational and professional settings, I aim to create environments where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute to their fullest potential.
