About Open Minds

Open Minds is a management and training consultancy with expertise in and commitment to equality and diversity. We value individual and cultural difference. We endeavour to model the principles of equality and respect and run our business ethically and in a way that reflects our stated values of: • Reliability - we work within an agreed project plan, to agreed quality standards which we monitor. Our procedures and processes are constantly under review and techniques are improved whenever and wherever necessary. • Equality - we believe and act in a way that is fair, just and objective. • Integrity - we value honesty and respect for the individual. • Innovation - we develop and use creative and exciting training tools to address difficult issues in a safe, supportive and stimulating training environment. • Valuing Diversity - we celebrate diversity and see it as an organisational strength. • Adding Value - we ensure that the work we carry out is relevant and meaningful to the organisation. Training in the area of equality and diversity is both challenging and rewarding and to succeed effective trainers must be agents for change. They need to be highly skilled in facilitation and possess an in depth knowledge of equality issues and legislation. We have used our extensive knowledge and expertise, gained from working in the field of diversity and equality for over ten years, to develop highly effective and practical strategies to deal with the challenging situations that may occur in workshops. Our ability to provide and oversee development opportunities for others has helped organisations develop individuals to reach their true potential. We are Executive Coaches and Mentors to several directors and senior managers and have enabled individuals to enhance personal and team performance by making changes in their thinking, attitudes and behaviour. In turn, this positively supports systematic and cultural change.
