Diversity consulting from three perspectives

We don’t just advise on diversity. We are diverse.

Our diversity consulting combines three angles: systemic depth, economic realism and anti-discrimination rigour. None of us sees the whole picture alone. The three of us together do.

How it all began

Following a training course, the three of us were still sitting at the table after dinner. We were talking about the questions that occupy the self-employed: How do we make diversity relevant again? How do we hold our own in a market that prefers to use diversity as a sticker rather than a stance?

Then someone said something about companies that talk about diversity on their websites while the reality in their corridors looks different. It went quiet. The kind of quiet in which three people think the same thing at once: exactly that.

Notes on scraps of paper became a product: a check that doesn’t certify but looks closely. One that doesn’t try to optimise individuals but changes structures. For workplaces where nobody has to bend or hide.

Who does the checking

Diversity trainer, systemic counsellor and therapist (DGSF). Blu brings years of practice from training courses on allyship, critical masculinities, heteronormativity and intersectionality for universities, political organisations and public administration. So Blu knows the points where promises of diversity break – and supports organisations with diversity concepts and awareness structures, and as a mediator and supervisor in team conflicts.

What we stand for

We believe that change doesn’t start with individuals who are expected to adapt, but with structures that can, may and must change.

We want a working world in which difference and being different are not a figure in the sustainability report but lived, sometimes uncomfortable reality. We want organisations that don’t ask “How do we look?” but “Who can truly belong, have an impact and stay with us?”

The resources for that are already there – in people and in systems. Our job is to make them visible and usable.
