Does any of this sound familiar?
​
"People don't feel included in our DEI efforts."
​
Despite your best efforts, people still feel excluded, people don't feel seen, people don't feel heard. These feelings of exclusion are extending beyond 'privileged white men' and affecting women, people of color, people of different age groups, people with disabilities, and more.
​
"The people responsible for leading DEI are experiencing burnout."
​
You and your team are exhausted. The enthusiasm has dwindled, and the constant push for DEI is taking a toll and as the world's focus on DEI turns negative, the passion and drive that once fueled your DEI efforts are fading.
​
"Our DEI efforts are not getting the results we envisioned."
​
You've implemented various DEI activities, yet you find yourself asking this crucial question- is it getting results? The strategies you're implementing are not yielding the lasting, impactful results you hoped for. The team members who were once vocal proponents are now silent, unenthused, and not feeling inspired to contribute to the endless cycle of DEI activities that don't seem to lead anywhere.

Turn these challenges into opportunities!
Introducing the Table of Diversity-
A Fresh Perspective on DEI
​​The Table of Diversity is a tool for expanding the definition of diversity to include more aspects of identity and incorporating intersectionality.
​
​In many DEI conversations, diversity is often narrowly defined- focusing primarily on visible aspects such as race, gender, or age. But what if we broadened our understanding? What if diversity was seen through a more expansive lens that captures the full spectrum of our identities?
​
Expanding the Definition of Diversity: The Table of Diversity doesn't just limit itself to the traditional categories of diversity. It goes beyond, recognizing the many facets that make up who we are- such as socioeconomic background, education, language, neurodiversity, family structure, and much more. This broader definition ensures that every individual's unique identity is acknowledged and valued within your organization.
​
Highlighting Intersectionality: Diversity isn't just about single identities; it's about the intersection of multiple identities that shape our experiences. The Table of Diversity shines a spotlight on intersectionality, helping you understand how various aspects of identity- such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability- interact and influence our experience in the world. This approach ensures that your DEI efforts are not just inclusive of individual identities but also mindful of the complexities and intersections that make up each person.
​
Moving Beyond the Sidelines: When people's full selves are seen and valued, they're no longer just allies standing on the sidelines- they become active participants in the DEI movement. Because the Table of Diversity is inclusive of everyone, everyone feels empowered to contribute meaningfully, fostering an environment where all voices are heard, respected, and valued within your organization.
The Result?!
A Truly Inclusive and Equitable Organization!
From Awareness to Action
Many DEI efforts tend to revolve around activities such as workshops, training sessions, and events designed to raise awareness. While these activities are important, they often fall short of delivering the depth and sustained impact required for meaningful change. The Table of Diversity embodies the principle of Awareness to Action- moving beyond awareness to foster strategic, impactful action.
Rooted in Science: Built on a Foundation of Data
The Table of Diversity isn't just a conceptual tool; it's grounded in rigorous scientific principles that ensure its effectiveness and reliability.
​
At its core, the Table of Diversity draws inspiration from Chemistry. The framework that makes Chemistry easy to comprehend, is the same framework used to understand and implement the Table of Diversity.
​
The Table of Diversity is rooted in science. Each Diversity Element is backed by Industrial/Organizational Psychology, DEI, Political Science, and other relevant research to ensure you can utilize this tool in your own strategic efforts.
​
With the Table of Diversity, you're not just adopting a tool; you're embracing a scientifically-rooted approach that's designed to foster lasting, meaningful change.
