“How can we become more capable of using our combined knowledge in a healthy and effective way in order tot support our personal, social and professional life, our teams, our relations, our company?” In my vision we are all unique different human beings, diversity is inside and outside all of us. There are differences in the position though, some elements of diversity (ethnical, religious, gender, sexual orientation, class, etc.) are more dominant, more appreciated than others. So, we need to pay attention on how being aware and be able to deal with that. How to use this diversity in our personal, relational and professional social contexts? I like to coach and advice my clients (organizations, teams, governmental) how to work with this unique internal powerful diversity. Exploring the internal and external diversity gives us all the possibility to get more ownership and take leadership and work on inclusion. Good ownership gives us the direction to healthy ways of personal leadership. In this we need real acceptance and appreciation of who we are, awareness about our reality in the here and now.

‘WORKING WITH DIVERSITY CARDS’
The 19 cards, 18 represent themes that i came along during my work as ebing important in defining ourselves as layers of our identities.
The methodology and content are developed from a practice of working over 30 years in the field of diversity / intercultural communication/ intersectionality. The cards can be used for training, team - and individual coaching sessions, in organizational consulting and individual work. • The substantive inspiration is the theory of Kimberle Crenshaw / Gloria Wekker a.o. on ‘Intersectionality’. Workshops can be offered ‘open enrollment’ or ‘in-company’. Review of working with the cards by a trainer: “I wanted to let you know that the Diversity Cards worked very well indeed with the group I facilitated; indeed they were the highlight of the six week programme! There were participants from Sudan, Indonesia, Guinea-Bissau, Poland, S. Africa, and Bangladesh; because the cards opened up the possibility for each person to talk about themselves from a position of their own choice, it created a lively and egalitarian atmosphere on the first day, for which I was happy. Also, everyone enjoyed translating the words into their mother tongue!”
