Specialized 
training
Diversio excels with specialized training such as Indigenous Inclusion (three levels), Inclusive Investment, and specific allyship training for different groups (e.g., Black Allyship, Asian Allyship).

Paradigm offers important specialized topics like Transgender Inclusion and Ageism but does not cover as many specific intersectional areas as Diversio.
Mental health
focus

Â
Paradigm does not have a specific focus on mental health within its training offerings.
Advanced leadership training
Diversio provides advanced leadership programs such as Inclusive Leadership 2.0: Advocating in a Time of Change and Indigenous Inclusion 3.0: From Intention to Action, supporting leaders in driving DEI initiatives forward.

Paradigm includes Inclusive Leadership and Championing DEI but lacks the same level of advanced, progressive leadership training.
Intersectionality and inclusivity
Diversio places a strong emphasis on intersectionality with courses like Intersections of Race & Other Identities and Managing Microaggressions.
Â
Paradigm also emphasizes intersectionality and inclusive culture but does not offer as many in-depth intersectional training modules.
Modern workplace issues
Paradigm addresses modern workplace issues with courses like Remote/Hybrid Inclusion, which is crucial in today’s evolving work environments.
Diversio covers workplace flexibility and safety but can expand further into modern workplace topics.

“I’ve learned today that this is an ongoing process that will be continually evolving. I think [the instructor] is an amazing facilitator and I love how she always had valuable insights and examples to share from personal experiences. It was very interactive and she kept it “fresh” all the way. I loved it!”
