2. Our experiential learning supports you to explore inside, in a non-judgemental, high feedback environment, without blame and shame, right where you need it–so you can inspire and become the change you want to be.
And you can try all of this for free…
“These offerings are, without a doubt, the finest I’ve experienced in my years of doing this work.”
~ NAOMI TUTU
“If I haven’t done the prerequisite ‘diversity work’ WITHIN MYSELF FIRST, I can’t live from solidarity with others…in fact I won’t really care about making room for and honoring our differences. What parts of myself are knocking at my inner door? What parts do I judge, disown, and refuse entry? Do I have systems of internal oppression that mirror the world’s? Until I find a way to make peace inside me, I will not feel wholeness, cannot embody my mission, won’t know what lights me up, and I will not experience the grace of our unity or achieve effectiveness across our differences.”
~J. Elliott Butler-Cisneros

~ LAURIE YAUSSI Teacher, Thompson Valley School District
What’s the Power of Difference Model (PDM)?
At it’s core the PDM identifies 3 primary, typically unconscious, patterns of behavior, thought, feeling, and worldview related to race, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic class, religion, disability, and culture.

What People Think…
“This model has totally changed how I do things in my school…especially the way I use power more consciously. For me, it’s so important to do no harm. And while I understand my role as a Latino leader in my school – I am learning from the PDA, the model, and from consultation with The Sum how my power and my privilege across many sociocultural differences can be used with more awareness, effectiveness, and care in my relationships to our school secretary, our custodian, the teachers, parents and, of course, the students.”
Guillermo Medina,
Principal, Columbine Elementary, Boulder Valley School District, Boulder, Colorado
“As a person who is always engaged in inclusion work, whether it be in my job or in my life; sometimes we need to be reminded to take care of ourselves. This survey helped me to refocus on how I give of myself. I don’t have to give myself away. I was able to take a breath for my sake! Still carrying my torch!”
