About the Author

Les Helms, Dan Houston, and Jim White have a combined total of more than sixty years in the trenches: training, consulting, coaching, and teaching in the public and private sectors. The authors’ experiences have taught them that culture and diversity is a much broader concept than what has traditionally been presented. Their first release, A Better World, is the result of numerous discussions and close to a year of intense writing, in a format they believe will make sense to virtually everyone. In forward-thinking organizational and social environments, the authors believe there is a need for ongoing dialogue regarding values, codes of conduct, and how these elements of culture continue to impact viruses such as stereotypes, biases, prejudice, and discrimination. Their goal is to develop strategies and solutions for creating A Better World.
