We help Leaders in the Public and Community Sector implement more inclusive, kinder and compassionate workplace cultures where diverse communities thrive.
Leaders influence and define culture. Culture defines equity and inclusion.
Our Approach
When we work with Public Sector and Community Leaders, we ask them to recognise that it will be a journey to effectively lead their people and organisation with Intentional Inclusion and Cultural Intelligence (CQ). It is not a single training course and there are no quick fixes to understanding diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Journey
Our approach when working with Leaders and organisations on this journey, is to factor in sustainability in order to create journeys that last so, the people within the organisations don’t become tired along the way. Everyone is involved, takes ownership and understands what it is going to mean for them as leaders and individuals.
Tailored Solutions
We address the questions… what is the journey going to look like? How is it going to impact the people who work for that organisation? And what role does Leadership play in making that journey a successful one?
Why we need to constantly question our assumptions about what Inclusion looks and feels like from different cultural perspectives.
Unconscious Bias (UB) Awareness workshops have been recommended as a panacea to the Diversity and Inclusion concerns. However, at Above Difference we’d like to offer you an alternative.
Is it time to take a different and more radical approach to diversifying the colour of leadership in the public sector? What can CQ offer that hasn’t been tried before?
Leading the way to intentional inclusion begins with embracing ambiguity and exploring the depth of difference.
Emerging research demonstrates that having a diverse organisation or team is not enough.
The unique combination of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Inclusive Leadership offers a new, innovative approach to the inclusion agenda that is rooted in academic research and based on a clear framework.
At Above Difference, we equip leaders and organisations to move from ‘managing diversity’ to ‘leading for inclusion’. By developing CQ and Inclusive Leadership styles in individuals and organisations, we develop individual’s ability to decisively and intentionally create inclusive workplace cultures where diversity is recognised as one of the organisations greatest assets and all cultures are valued and respected.
