About Our Company

DeEtta Jones and Associates is a leading force in

shaping contemporary thinking and practice

around integrated and sustainable approaches to

personal transformation, workplace culture,

diversity inclusion and equity.

Our work with hundreds of organizations in many

sectors and across the world has led us to one

conclusion—we are at a threshold. This threshold

will either be the outermost limit of our ability to

adapt and thrive in today’s face-paced world, or

the breakthrough to a new era filled with

invigorating ideas, access to diverse thinking and

skills and the possibility for manifesting our

desires. Our commitment is to the latter, and we

know that a new approach is needed.

We describe this new approach as next

generation leadership, which encompasses our

on-going commitment to build capacity across

seven key areas:

1. Disciplined Practice

2. Managerial Excellence

3. Intentional Leadership

4. Active Learning

5. Entrepreneurial Prowess

6. Holistic Approach

7. Global Mindset

Customized Diversity, Inclusion, Equity

Our Diversity, Inclusion and Equity services

primarily focus on helping you develop

cultural competence and use it to enhance

your organization’s culture and

performance.

Cultural competence is a skill set; the confidence

and competence to effectively move in and out of

diverse relationships and experiences.

Cultural competence is required in today’s diverse

global business, educational and social settings.

Rather than a static learning specific to only one

national, ethnic, generational, or other group, our

approach to cultural competence combines cultural

knowledge, emotional intelligence, and

interpersonal skills that can be adapted to achieve

improved interpersonal and organization results in

any cross-cultural situation. Further, we work with

leaders on understanding, messaging and

thoughtful approaches for ensuring that cultural

competence is a skill being developed throughout

your organization.



Customized Diversity, Inclusion, Equity

We Help You:

Develop basic intercultural knowledge to become

more aware and open to unfamiliar culturally-

based behavior;

Begin developing intercultural problem-solving

and communication skills to avoid

misunderstandings and to accelerate

effectiveness;

Become versed in common intercultural concepts

with colleagues to be an active participant in an

organizational culture that requires competence

across cultures;

Develop a compelling personal action plan for

further increasing cultural competence; and

Apply cultural knowledge to business practices,

challenges and strategic opportunities.
