An Approach That Works

We partner with you to help you cultivate a culture where everyone feels like they belong. Leveraging our founder’s groundbreaking research in the area of intercultural competence from his dissertation at the University of Cambridge and decades of experience, we are committed to ensuring that our partners experience personal, organizational, and programmatic growth.

Our approach to developing your intercultural competence is entirely independent of Wokeism and Critical Race Theory. Unlike those divisive and often ineffective methods, our strategy to DEI training is results-driven and unifying.

Our approach to developing intercultural competence focuses on meaningful, lasting change through an intentional journey emphasizing three steps.

DESIRED AWARENESS

What is your story?

How do you view yourself?

How does your ethnic and cultural identity impact your behavior, attitudes, and decisions?

Through self-examination and reflection, you'll gain valuable insights into these influences and recognize the importance of valuing differences.

Self-awareness and awareness of the other are the foundations for genuine change and building healthy intercultural relationships.

DESIRED ATTITUDES

How do you perceive those that are different from you—the other?

What biases and assumptions do you hold?

How can you foster openness and trust towards others?

We help you integrate desired attitudes that foster a genuine ethic of care for others, reducing blind spots and enhancing cross-racial relationships within your organization.

We guide you in developing positive attitudes that create diverse teams built on the tripod of trust, safety, and belonging.

DESIRED ACTIONS

How do you turn new perspectives into meaningful actions personally and organizationally?

What steps will you and your organization take to implement actionable diversity goals?

How will you measure and report personal and organizational progress?

We guide you in setting and achieving executive diversity goals, developing organizational policies, and using diversity scorecards.

This ensures that your insights translate into concrete, impactful actions, resulting in new levels of growth, profitability, and workplace satisfaction.

I coach people in the area of money management. Dr. Ireland coaches people in the area of diversity and the development of cross-cultural skills. I’ve watched him masterfully and gently shape a racially diverse audience into a community that has a singular focus—helping people value others that are different than themselves.
