Success is achieved when everyone extends an olive branch.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Consulting
Equipping you with tools for growth to spur systemic change.
Personalized Approach for Your Unique Needs
Olive Branch Educators® (OBE) is committed to educating and inspiring those seeking a path toward increased diversity, equity, and inclusion. We collaborate with our clients. We model strategies to overcome resistance to change. We respectfully identify and unpack biases. We create spaces that encourage members of the community to remain focused and forward-moving in this challenging, yet rewarding, work.
Making the Invisible Visible
AWARENESS OF THE UNCONSCIOUS PROCESS
Even “good people” have biases that unconsciously impact progress towards diversity, equity, and inclusion. Olive Branch Educators™ provides the tools your organization needs to unpack those biases, along with the training you’ll need to move forward in the work.
INCREASED HUMILITY & VULNERABILITY TO CRITICAL FEEDBACK & GROWTH
In practice, OBE extends an olive branch by providing a platform for marginalized voices to tell their stories. It is imperative that we allow individuals to share their raw experiences without competing with the fragility of the privileged group. Creating a safe space for learning and sharing is our highest priority.
GUIDANCE THROUGH THE DISCOMFORT
You will never be alone. The OBE team will support each individual through this challenging process with respect and understanding. The discomfort that often fuels the work necessary to achieve our most worthy goals becomes a gift over time—the gift of personal growth.
