Kingdom Diversity: Building Truly Diverse & Inclusive Organizations
A Training for Christian Leaders and Their TeamsThis training is for Christian leaders who have a heart to see racial diversity, inclusion and equity throughout their organizations and desire a clear pathway to implement the necessary organizational awareness and change.
This powerful live training event for Christian businesses, non-profits and churches with Ericka D. James will leave you clear and with immediate actions you can take to transform your teams and create a more diverse organization.
It is time to be equipped to know how to value each other’s cultural, intellectual, emotional and spiritual gifts so we can create organizations and communities that are inclusive and effective.
Diverse ideas, opinions and the process of collective thought brings innovation and clarity that adds value to your organization.
The Kingdom Diversity Formula Difference
Maybe you’ve experienced racial diversity training that left you hopeful, but with no coherent and specific plan to actually activate and bring true racial inclusion in your organization. Or perhaps you have attended a training that left you feeling guilty and hopeless.
Or you have invested in diversity training that did not create lasting change. I call this “The Traditional Approach.”I am clear that this change has to come from Christians who have a heart to change but don’t know how to get beyond challenging or courageous conversations to solutions.
What Others are Saying About The KINGDOM DIVERSITY Training
Working with Ericka has been nothing short of fabulous! She has met each of our staff exactly where we are with so much love and grace. Currently she is helping me put together a strategic plan for Kingdom diversity at Hope Reins. We are already making important shifts in our culture! It is a delight to partner with Ericka and tap into her expertise!
Thanks so much Ericka – greatly appreciate your partnership, leadership and encouragement. I really felt the Holy Spirit’s presence – and the feedback from all ministry leaders has been extremely affirming of our heart to respond and take action. The Lord is using you mightily, Ericka!
Ericka’s approach and methodology is powerful and gracious, and we are hopeful and clear about our action plan. Our team loved her positivity, ability to create a safe space for vulnerability and transparency, engaging story telling and challenging questions.
I wanted to sincerely express my gratitude for your leadership. I look forward to using the teaching and the hand-outs as an artifact to build our staff, board and community moving forward. These will become “live” documents that guide our work. It was truly awesome. Thank you for taking the time to build into CORRAL and ultimately the girls we serve.
