Standing at a Crossroads.
Businesses and organizations that are under pressure to
transform their teams, are often challenged by the wealth of
“solutions” offered, by companies.
Some are great - and many are doomed to failure.

If you are about to choose a diversity programme,
your team is at a crossroads of danger and opportunity.

The danger lies in choosing the wrong interventions.
This can bring divisions and discontent.

The right choice will bring huge opportunities
to build individuals, teams and the company,
whilst reaping great rewards, together.

Diversity Interventions

Outcomes Required

“Diversified environment, where all employees
are valued, and feel the same about their
workplace.”

“Put people together in a way that will
have them bouncing ideas off each other,
befriending each other,
and taking care of each other,

and suddenly they are coming to you,
not with gripes and problems,
but with solutions and great ideas.”

Richard Branson, in his book, “Business Stripped Bare.”

The challenges to building diversity
understanding and opportunities
“Diversity and Inclusion” is sometimes a challenge to older established uni-
cultural teams. Any form of change is often rejected.

Traditional “Diversity training” is often seen as a threat to the status quo.

Any top-down intervention is often far less effective than a participative process.

Intellectually learned diversity skills often do not “stick.” What is remembered is
more “interesting” than a working skill.

Multi-diverse team members often hang out with their own “groups.” This serves
to “confirm who they are”, and does little to grow them.”

Without active diversity understanding, teams cannot fully work together,
nor can they connect effectively with their diverse clients.

Opportunities to expand

horizons through understanding Diversity.
The right interventions have the effect of:-

Reducing team and management stress.

Removing conflict, gossiping, and back stabbing from the workplace.

Improving professionalism, productivity, communication, interaction and
accountability.

Expanding markets, increasing profits whilst enjoying the journey!

Positive change comes through willing people.

Teams that delight in their work environment will love change and
continuously seek opportunities through the diversities – of your
team, clients and suppliers.

Copyright CH Trust.

Some Expected Outcomes

A strong environment of mutual respect.

Open, clear and effective communication and interaction skills.

Effective understanding of people, cultures, traditions, religions,
commonalities and uniqueness.

Accountability, ownership and responsibility for self, team and
organisation.

Environment of solution-finding and praise.

Understanding attitudes and their effects on relationships.

Conflict resolution skills to prevent challenges within business and home
relationships.

Leadership skills and understanding, to motivate, and get the best out of
teams, colleagues and clients.

United, motivated and professional teams and teamwork.

Testimonials
At the Level of Respect All People are equal! A & B Moore 2001

Namdeb Diamond Mining Corporation’s General Manager - Chris
Sivertsen “Arthie and Brian and their whole team really live their
message; they truly walk the talk.

And the message “At the level of Respect, all People are
Equal” is such a powerful one, a message that appeals to all
employees in every company.

They personally touched every person who attended their
Diversity Training sessions, and this facilitated each of us to get
emotionally and conceptually closer to our colleagues. ” (2500
people trained)

Eskom Ltd – Ellisras (Feedback after 15 months)- “”Communication, respect and
ownership improved from all sides by 100%.
The respect between different race groups has been restored and some of the
people who were negative have changed so much that they have been promoted
to higher positions with greater responsibility.”

Testimonial – International

and South African Team
On behalf of the U.S. Consulate General in Durban,
I write to extend our appreciation for an
unparalleled experience in cultural sensitisation and team-
building!

The 2 day session made
our diverse team stronger and more supportive of one another.

This (team building) was by far the most meaningful and effective
in fostering good communication, mutual respect
and a strong spirit of cooperation amongst our multi-cultural staff.

Jill Derderian - Consul General

An unparalleled experience in cultural sensitisation and team-building!

Recent Feedback www.africa-dreams.com

(Team Unity Programme)
 The programme is an asset to the development of people and South Africa.
 You have an excellent program and really is focused on bringing work teams
together, resolving issues and helping them move forward positively.
 It is fun. I laughed my heart out.
 I learned a lot more about myself and what has affected me over my work and
personal career, the personality sessions was a real eye opener to me.
 This team building focused for me on how people “work” and how they would
like to be treated.
 What I enjoyed the most was the interaction between levels of the
organisations. And the discovery of yourself in other people’s eyes.
 It is a very useful as a tool for understanding people and also discovering how
little one knows about other cultures and customs.
 It is a totally new angle on “teambuilding”. Cultural dimension really brilliant.
 What I enjoyed is that an easy, open and relaxed environment is created. It is a
well balanced programme – theory and fun – activities.
 It has been very informative, understanding how other people’s personalities are
and so to deal with an individual according to their personality.
 The programme was not boring at all, well presented, the fact that facilitators
understand different cultures, especially Africa culture with where we are
coming from as South Africans.

Diversity Training Feedback (WC, KZN, GP)

 16 July 2012
 As a company we decided to use Celebrating Humanity as our provider for Diversity Training – in the Cape, KZN
and Gauteng provinces. And what a good choice that was.
 Arthie and Brian Moore are absolutely amazing people who are able to bring out the best in people. The manner in
which they present the training is really practical and uplifting. Our 411 employees thoroughly enjoyed the manner
in which the interaction took place. What a pleasure to hear the positive feedback from the employees. Some
wanted to attend the training again!
 As a company we found that employees who never really had contact with one another were able to get first-hand
information about one another as well as glimpse the world in which they live.
 I would recommend Arthie and Brian for any training that involves getting people to understand one another as
well as one self. The positive energy they bring into a room is electrifying and certainly makes all attendees come
alive.
 This training has really had a positive impact on all our employees and it shows within our company family. Should a
company make use of Celebrating Humanity, there will only be a positive outflow from contact with this amazing
provider.
 Yours faithfully
