35+ years of accompanying people and organizations through change. A personal story turned into an organizational tool — seeing the different, holding space for it, and leading forward with it.

Sarit Ben Shimol — diversity and inclusion consultant

We live in a colorful and diverse world.

We live in a colorful and diverse world — a world where each of us has opinions, perceptions and paradigms we grew up with, that became inseparable from our lives. And yet, the moment comes when we have to deal with something different.

All of us face change — some of it initiated by a desire for improvement, and some imposed on us, where we have to find a way to cope.

My personal experience — especially around my son coming out as a transgender teenager back in 2017 — opened a new world for me, and led me to see reality in a clearer, sharper way.

People with diverse sexual or gender identity may experience difficulty in daily routines, both personally and professionally. They may face challenges finding work, discrimination, and sometimes harsh reactions from systems that don't know how to hold space for difference.

This, of course, is also relevant for other populations — women, the Arab community, people coping with mental health challenges, people with physical disabilities and more.

For over 35 years I've accompanied people and organizations through change, learning how to take control and lead to success. I decided to be part of the change and create a better future.

The turning point

My son coming out as a transgender teenager opened a new world for me — and led me to see reality in a clearer, sharper way. I decided to take the step and be part of the change.

My approach

The question I ask in every change: What can I do?

The natural tendency is to look for someone else to lead the change, or to blame the environment. But the moment we take responsibility — we shift from a reactive position to one of initiative and leadership. That's what I know how to do, and that's what I know how to teach.
