Corporations, organizations, schools, and non-profits are looking into how their organizations address DEI. Many are challenged with diversity integration because they are taking an outside-in approach instead of an inside-out approach! Our company takes an inside-out approach with our framework using "Diversity Journeys and Conversations" to engage leaders and staff if embracing DEI on an interpersonal level.
The Diversity From The Inside Out-Diversity 3M Framework is slowly becoming world-renowned for our unique approach to DEI.
We eliminate contentious training and offer a humanistic approach to this, on occasion controversial subject. Everyone involved in our training feels welcomed, valued, and appreciated! Please take a look at our demo video to see what we mean!
It takes training, coaching, and active listening to succeed in DEI. With our framework and activity, we can help!
We work with established programs and new starts.

Darrell "Coach D" Andrews and associates are committed to a new way of communicating DEI. This is the only way, as related to cultural groups, DEI becomes a part of the culture! From our company's perspective, Diversity means "Education and awareness that leads to organizational cultural change." Our position educates our customers on the uniqueness and benefits of DEI, not the national narrative that can be combative and polarizing!
DEI, from the inside out, is a humanistic approach to a topic that can be perceived negatively if not communicated properly. Trainers and coaches who come in with personal agendas and biases of their own rarely do a good job convincing people of the need for paradigm shifts. Sadly, we have been contracted by many firms to clean up the mess created when this happens.
Contact us to discuss how we can be value-added to your existing program or create from the ground level. We can help with both! You can also schedule a free strategy meeting by visiting https://calendly.com/coachdspeaks/strategycall
Our Diversity From The Inside Out-The 3M Framework is designed to take employees on a journey that moves the concept of equity from their heads to their hearts! Billions of dollars have been spent on unsuccessful initiatives because the only focus was having an initiative not dealing with biases all people possess due to their life circumstances. Our motto is, "Diversity is not a head issue; it is a heart issue." Moving diversity from the head to the heart takes analyzing interpersonal bias that people may unknowingly have and helping them realize the bias's impact on people of color.
We live in a day and age where we can no longer ignore the need to focus on systems to engage, support, and understand Diverse Communities. Many times, biases we have and preconceived notions prevent this from happening.
Being proactive and implementing systems to educate and motivate people to embrace a new mindset toward other cultures can benefit your leaders, staff, customers, clients, schools, students, and educators.
Look at the video below to hear from one of our customers on the West Coast regarding their virtual "Diversity Journey!"
Diversity is not a head issue; it is a heart issue.
Our virtual (and live) training and consulting, focusing on three critical. We call it the Diversity 3M Framework! The framework is designed to be an inside-out engagement for training models alone don't change the heart behind why a person thinks about racial equity in the manner they do. We have a process where all stakeholders are engaged and discussing DEI, without fear or threat of being wrong or accused of being "racist."
M1-Mindset - We help people go on a journey of historical perspectives of diverse relationships that have consciously or unconsciously impacted how they view diverse populations. In our work, we have found that this is the epicenter of biases that some people are unaware of. Our consulting, coaching, and training help people analyze their mindset and develop a growth mindset relating to diversity that leads to a new understanding of how their words, actions, and deeds can impact marginalized groups. We will help your team members via a growth mindset see diverse populations from a new lens.
M2-Motivation -One of the challenges with most diversity issues is it only focuses on training and posters—sort of a check off the box focus. Our system is designed to motivate people to understand "why" they need to make this shift. We will provide instruction on the historical journey of the marginalized populations and the significant contributions of many when given a chance. We will also discuss the organizational benefit to all stakeholders when people are perceived as equals in our nation's growth and prosperity.
M3-Memorization - One of the most significant challenges of most diversity and inclusion initiatives is the lack of follow-through. Companies, workforce development agencies, schools, and districts rarely weave in long-term success strategies via continuous education via webinars, coaching, and videos. We work with our organizations to do monthly quick-hit videos, webinars, staff and leader interviews, etc., to keep equity motivation on the mind of all involved. On-going education and employee interaction are critical to establishing a culture of equity motivation.
The goal is to establish a culture where diversity motivation is a part of the culture. HR and other key leaders must be involved. This is essential so that current staff and new, are well aware of the need to embrace the company culture relating to diversity!
Virtual DEI Leadership Think-Tank With One of Our Customers!
We initially meet virtually with company or organization leaders (and key staff) to discuss where they are, what has been done, successes, failures, etc. We also want to understand what are the organizational goals. It is essential to make sure we are on the same page and committed to the same goals and objectives. Our firm's value proposition is we are not looking for just another opportunity to speak on this subject; we want to see hearts changed. We take our customers on an equity "Journey," for most Diversity Programs have had limited success with training alone!
This takes more than posters on a wall, it takes commitment from all involved!
Our Virtual "Diversity Journey" Offerings
We offer the following three ways of working with your organization.
1. Virtual (Or Live) Diversity From The Inside Out One-Time Training - We focus on Diversity From The Inside Out and helping staff and leaders go through a reflective process of seeing the commanalities we all possess. We provide tools to rethink and reframe old ways of thinking relating to fellow employee or customer interactions. This can be during staff development, leadership retreat, or other professional development.
2. Virtual (Or Live) Diversity From The Inside Out Think-Tank Sessions - Before we start on the process of establishing a full-blown initiative, we take engage leaders via our Diversity journey for two to three months, bi-weekly. This is to ensure they are made aware of and educated on DEI, and comfortable in their understanding and self-reflection before rolling it out to their staff. Most companies simply roll out programs without first getting leaders on board. This can lead to a DEI decline and staff not getting on board.
3. Virtual (Or Live) Diversity From The Inside Out (On-Going Consulting) - We provide monthly conversations, development of an organizational task force, leadership interviews (with your leaders) on localized equity best practices. This is a comprehensive plan designed for organizations looking to engage the 3M Framework on a grander scale. Again, we focus on a "Journey" for this is the only way to reach the hearts of people relating to Diversity.
