Awkward Conversations Partners with Diverse Minds to Enhance DEI Solutions Across Asia Pacific

Hong Kong, February 2025 – Awkward Conversations, a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consultancy based in Hong Kong, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Diverse Minds Limited, a neurodivergent-led organisation dedicated to leveraging the benefits of neurodiversity in business environments.

This collaboration aims to unite the strengths of both organisations, creating a comprehensive suite of consulting, training, and e-learning solutions tailored for companies throughout the Asia Pacific region. Together, Awkward Conversations and Diverse Minds are committed to providing an integrated approach that supports businesses in their DEI efforts.

"Our collaboration with Diverse Minds combines global insights with Asian perspectives, enabling us to better help our clients build and maintain diverse teams and create inclusive workplaces that excel in today's competitive landscape. Investing in an inclusive working environment maximises your most important asset—your people—leading to better innovation and creativity, enhanced career prospects, and reduced costs in areas such as hiring,” says Awkward Conversations founder, Emery Fung.

"We're thrilled to partner with Awkward Conversations and leverage their deep understanding of DEI within Asia Pacific to further expand our impact," says Diverse Minds CEO, Noelle Sinclair. "By combining our neurodiversity-focused expertise with Awkward Conversations' specialised DEI services, we can deliver even more comprehensive solutions to help organisations build more strategic and sustainable DEI programs." 

The first initiative stemming from this partnership is a specialised e-learning course designed for HR professionals, DEI practitioners, and volunteers. This course will focus on the principles of intersectionality, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to design and implement effective DEI programs that address the diverse needs of today's workforce.

In addition to the e-learning course, the partnership will provide companies with a comprehensive solution for their DEI needs, including strategic planning, training, workshops, and policy development. By combining their efforts, Awkward Conversations and Diverse Minds aim to simplify the DEI journey for organisations, ensuring they have the support needed to succeed.
