“I’ve learnt so much about my cultural values and how they could have been perceived as negative. I now have an understanding of what it is that I found negative in others, now I have a grounding to see beyond that. This experience has enabled me to see interactions as challenges that can be overcome to bring about a positive solution, not just at work, but in all areas of my life.”

“I have found that Above Difference can equip staff with a toolkit of skills, knowledge and top tips to navigate the complicated demographic that we serve. I feel this programme is potentially a game changer and highly recommend it as exactly that.”
Lynne Spencer
Director of Corporate Affairs, HSIB
“We believe that the CQ® masterclasses delivered by Jennifer Izekor, Founder of Above Difference, to our middle and senior leaders have significantly enhanced their capability to relate effectively and perform in the culturally diverse context of our organisation and wider society. This has been particularly important in support of our drive to improve the confidence in policing of all our communities and increase our ability to attract the very best talent from the full range of diversity.”
Chief Constable Andy Marsh
Avon and Somerset Constabulary, 2020
“Cultural intelligence (CQ®) is not just about your knowledge of others and how this influences your relationships but it helps shape you as a person and allow you to put your head above the parapet and be strong. Since plucking up the courage to speak 1:1 with my CEO to share my views on changing the approaches to engage staff and create trust, I am now invited to the table to give my opinion on how we can improve the culture of our trust/organisation.”
Chairman
BME Network
“I need more than the usual three stable offers – unconscious bias training, reverse mentoring and BME panel member (inclusion) at interview. This proved what I believe is more than this. It involves moral and emotional commitment but first a cognitive understanding of culture. Fantastic.”
Senior Leader

“Has reinforced how complex it is to achieve inclusiveness and that it is a process which is never complete.”
