THE POWER OF DIFFERENCE CERTIFICATION: Fall dates coming soon.
- 7 levels/belts
- There is no cost for the training itself, but, as in martial arts, it is necessary to pass a test at the end of each level/belt in order to progress to the next belt. The cost for a test is $100. If a person does not pass, they may retake again the following month without additional fees.
- ~15 hours on average to complete each of the first 6 levels.
- A Black Belt (level 7) – will depend on the project you create.
- The work of the course is mostly independent, with some partner work, and one weekly meeting
- Graduate credits available
- 10 CEUs available after each level/belt.
- Experiential activities, articles, videos, reflections, practice
- High feedback and high accountability
Move beyond shame, blame, guilt, grief, fear, and confusion. Cultivate self-awareness, empowerment, and clarity. Discover how to combine what lights you up with solidarity across our differences. Learn to support yourself and others for a just and thriving life, relationships, organization, community, and a world where all are honored and no one stands alone.
General Outcomes of the Power of Difference Certification:
- Become the change you want to see in the world.
- Increase your effectiveness across our differences

RESULTS
The PDC has been shown to significantly improve personal and professional effectiveness related to our differences: race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, culture, and socio-economic status. It was originally developed for educators over 20 or 30 years with many contributors. Over time it has been found to be just as effective for business, law enforcement, healthcare, nonprofits, and government. Until we develop this inner awareness and make these deeper internal shifts, no amount of “diversity” classes or brochures on “inclusive classrooms” will support our effectiveness in the ways we really envision for ourselves, our organizations, communities, families, and world. Once these inner transformations happen, across all our different fields, nothing can stop us! So this is about solidarity with ourselves first. And from there, solidarity with others…for a thriving and just world where all are honored and no one stands alone.
