A diverse and inclusive workplace is possible

“One of the Coalition for Christian Outreach’s (CCO)  core values is:  “We embrace God’s multi-ethnic Kingdom.”    As a Board we recognized that we could more effectively demonstrate this value.   We also realized that we did not have the expertise within the Board and we needed help.   Paul’s experience working with Boards and his expertise in Diversity made him the perfect choice for us.    His ability to help our Board have difficult discussions in a safe and constructive fashion was exceptional.   Paul’s approach was personal, structured and highly adaptive.  He  helped us create a vision for the future with very clear steps to get there.   Our Board has completely changed our view on Diversity while remaining true to our other core values in large part because of Paul’s deft collaborative approach.”

"MELD's professional and personal development plan (PDP) helped me to slow down to process my ethnic journey as an African American leader properly. What is unique about MELD is that it offers a unique perspective whereby I look at God's presence in my story to see how he has shaped me and is leading me in the ministry to which I am entrusted. Paul and his team are experienced and wise, providing insights and advice discerningly. I cannot stress enough how beautiful it is to learn from leaders with varying experiences and ethnic roots."
