Conversations around Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging can be complex.
Real relationships make them easier.
When it comes to implementing real change in your organization, you realize you don’t know what you don’t know.
You know?
Here’s the thing: being afraid of saying the wrong thing shouldn’t be what’s holding your company back from creating a culture where everyone thrives.
If you’re going to lead Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging in the workplace, you need to start from the executive level and embed it into the culture.
That’s where I come in.
Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
C-Suite Trusted Advisor and Board Director with over two decades of experience, at your service.
Let’s connect.
I started my consulting practice after more than 30 years in corporate America when I realized I wanted to partner with businesses that were different:
Businesses that have the courage to ask C-suite leaders to look inward.
Three advanced degrees and hundreds of clients later, I’ve perfected my process for what helps organizations create
long-lasting cultural transformation and bottom-line results within their companies as a Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging consultant for values-driven
C-suite teams.
Over the decades of my career, my clientele has consisted of Fortune 500 companies, government entities, and non-profits like Rehrig Pacific Company, Godiva Chocolatiers, Vanderbilt University, Duke Corporate Education, Washington State University, and more. I’ve also authored 7 books on leadership development.
Now, I work with C-suite leaders like
you—the ones who are ready to integrate core values into the employee experience, ignite employee engagement and improve workforce sustainability.
Because around here, I’m all for creating a culture where everyone feels like they truly belong—starting with the entire C-suite, not just the Chief Human Resources Officer—so Belonging cascades to the entire organization.
I take a different approach to Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging than most.
I don’t allow shame and blame from anyone. I never want anyone to feel talked down to. I meet people where they are. We focus always on opportunities to know and grow.
I don’t believe in check-the-box initiatives—which don’t work— instead, we get to the root with change-the-culture behaviors that align with your values.
I don’t try to get any executive to passively reach agreement. Rather, we raise your awareness as a person and develop real relationships that transcend race relations.
I’m Dr. Anita Polite-Wilson, and I love helping C-suite leaders like you reframe Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging from difficult to different.
I live with my husband in Anaheim, California close to Disneyland and great outlet shopping, which makes staycations a whole lot of fun. When I’m not consulting with clients on DIB, you can find me on a bike next to my husband, riding on the bike trail down to the beach, or taking a cruise with family and friends to celebrate life.
Now, I want to celebrate you for taking this very important step of starting your Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging journey.
TRUSTED BY CLIENTS LIKE:
You need a professional to help you and your executive team dig deeper.
That’s where I come in.
If you don’t know what you don’t know when it comes to Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging, that’s ok.
Get someone at your side who’s been doing this for a while, so you can rest knowing you’re creating a company culture where everyone feels like they belong.
