At Amber Mayes Consulting, we know from experience that human difference is at the heart of innovation in organizations. However, the presence of diversity does not itself yield results. Societal power dynamics make communication dynamics across different identity groups some of the most challenging to manage. Leaders and teams need specific awareness and skills to effectively address these challenges and create inclusive environments.
Success depends on every individual seeing themselves in the definition of diversity. Thus we counteract the notion that diversity and inclusion is just the work of “people of color” or other groups with marginal power in society.
Through providing frameworks, tools and skills, we help you create a culture where every person in your organization owns their part of creating an inclusive environment. Partner with us to unleash the creative potential in your organization!
“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible…”
Mahatma Gandhi
We provide frameworks and tools to help people understand how we each bring various identities (race, gender, sexual orientation, age, culture, class, etc.) and experiences that shape our outlook on the world and our approach to work.
It is critically important to have committed leadership and developed executive skills to foster an inclusive culture. Thus, our leadership coaching is a core component to the work. We coach leaders to ensure that they are able to “walk their talk” and be models for open and honest communication and learning. We also support them in the strategic thinking and planning necessary to sustain diversity & inclusion efforts.
