About the Approach

Identity Conscious® is an approach, both professional and personal. It is a way of interacting with the people around us. Gaining greater awareness of others’ identities helps to build strong relationships, welcoming communications, successful products and effective systems to ultimately multiply impact and make more money.
Identity Conscious® makes people feel closer, building trust and confidence in people, policies, and organizations. Identity Conscious® creates the opportunity to both minimize mistakes and productively manage mistakes when they happen.
Understanding what a person is experiencing, based on who they are, not who we perceive them to be based on stereotypes, assumptions, or erasure. Identity Conscious® uses non-judgmental curiosity to uncover bias and it accounts for the historical context of discrimination, barriers, and exclusion. We listen for each other's differences in identity, worldview, and experiences while finding commonality, joy, and authenticity. One Us Consulting - The Way Differences Bring Us Together.

One Us Consulting - The Way Differences Bring Us Together.

When we remove the ‘us vs. them’ dynamic, we see that equity becomes the actions that build access and opportunity for historically underrepresented and misrepresented groups alongside established businesses leaders. It’s just One Us.
