The Diversity Coachâ„¢ is a division of J.O. Rodgers and Associates, Inc., a management-consulting firm specializing in change management and strategy implementation. We are the leading consulting resource for organizations who want to install diversity management as a business strategy. With our assistance, dozens of client organizations have developed and implemented comprehensive diversity strategies. We have educated leaders and conducted diversity learning experiences for some of the largest and most successful organizations in the world.

Our goal is to help organizations equip managers to get 100% from 100% of their people, 100% of the time by implementing diversity management as a business strategy. We excel at culture analysis, change management, learning experiences that change lives, and simplifying strategy for easier execution.

The Diversity Coachâ„¢ is the home of the premier faculty in the field of diversity management. Each member of this faculty is accomplished and experienced in a variety of consulting disciplines. Most notably, they are all master facilitators of courageous conversations and tough issues.

As consultants, many of our associates are leaders who have pioneered and developed many of the processes used by current diversity management practitioners. As facilitators, they bring unique talents and skill-sets to the learning experiences we offer. Their level of expertise allows us to conduct near error-proof training that is an engaging experience for participants and a provocative learning platform for our client companies.

We play to our strengths. That is laying foundations for effective change. That foundation includes, understanding the organization's culture, developing and executing an effective communications plan, and conducting foundational learning experiences. This foundational work allows our clients to gain traction and sustain progress on the journey toward diversity maturity.
