Voices of Diversity

Innovation in developing global leaders who create better tomorrows

Offering Hope to Leaders

When individuals grow in their appreciation and understanding of diversity, the organization changes shape and course. Individual transformation always precedes organizational transformation.

Developing Cultural Sensitivity

Why is it that a person with 15 years of cross-cultural experience can be so much more culturally sensitive than another person with the same amount of experience?

Diversity Matters

To be mature fully in cultural sensitivity and competence is to go beyond this foundational level of recognizing differences and similarities and to progress toward the ability to accept and honor the culture of others.

Because People Matter Podcast

Because People Matter® is a podcast celebrating leaders who are harnessing the gift of human differences and creating inclusion while driving success in their organizations and communities.
