Foundations for the Diversity Way-Maker®
Where Leadership Transformation Begins
In most organizations, inclusive workplace training stops at awareness—explaining systems of oppression without changing the systems within us. Foundations for the Diversity Way-Maker™ goes further. It’s not just a course; it’s a catalyst for transformation—an immersive experience that challenges leaders to reconcile identity, reimagine power, and embody equity as a lived practice, not a policy.
Rooted in the Diversity Way-Maker™ Leadership Competency Architecture, this program guides participants through a process of identity reconciliation, the core of all sustainable equity work. Before we can lead others across difference, we must first understand who we are, how we’ve been shaped, and how that identity influences the systems we create.
Unlike traditional inclusive workplace methodologies, the DWM approach alchemizes leadership—transforming self-awareness into courage and conviction. We center the idiosyncratic characteristic—the authentic, personal trait that fuels the courage to disrupt inequity while building belonging.
Participants gain practical tools to align personal values with organizational impact, developing the cultural fluency and moral clarity required to lead equitably. Every lesson integrates reflection, application, and real-time dialogue with mentors who guide learners through moments of insight and growth.
You won’t go it alone. The course includes an integrated mentorship ecosystem, connecting leaders with expert practitioners and peers through live discussion threads, curated feedback, and ongoing online mentorship.
The result: leaders who move beyond compliance to courage—equipped not just to understand equity, but to live it.
Human-Centered Values
From a pragmatic perspective, we know that lasting change is only possible when top leaders are fully invested in and committed to the shifts that need to happen within their organization. To truly accomplish this, a person must explore their own core values and beliefs about equity and justice.
Perseverance
Most importantly, we understand the immense difficulty of this work and how it can drain and deplete one’s resolve to make way for meaningful change. We developed a model of soft power skills, coping mechanisms, and evidence- and performance-based competencies as they intersect with personal well-being and collective mindfulness integrations. Developing these competencies is essential to the advancement of DEI initiatives in support of a flourishing bottom line.
