Diversity & Inclusion
Advancing Diversity & Inclusion in a Meaningful, Measurable, and Sustainable Way
Our approach to advancing Diversity & Inclusion is grounded in a deep, universal approach that awakens the sleeping hero within each person — their best self.
Insights from Dr. Wadhwa

Our Approach to Diversity & Inclusion
The Mentora Way
A unifying approach to advancing Diversity & Inclusion:
- Let’s win hearts and minds. Let’s inspire people and gain their commitment.
- We’re all prone to lapses of judgment in our decisions and behaviors. Let’s learn to self-regulate our thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors.
- Every human being has a unique personal journey — a unique spark. Learn to attune yourself to their unique capacities, needs, and story.
- Let’s draw out the best in everyone — different people will have different levels of contributions to make depending on the context.
- Our organization is, like our society, a work in progress. Let’s stay vigilant, learn and grow, and create a culture where we can freely acknowledge, apologize, and adjust our paths when failures happen.
