Ken Coopwood, Sr., Ph.D. - A diversity trainer since 1992, Ken has answered a higher calling to labor unceasingly for the benefit of education about diversity throughout the nation's schools and universities and within corporate, government and youth agencies. He has worked with diverse populations to educate about identity constructs as a means to effective change, and uses sundry experiences to enhance the overall strategic plan of change-driven institutions. He is noted for conducting high-energy workshops and employing humorous activities that fuse identity stages with educational progression and self-esteem. A professor of educational psychology, Ken believes that diversity management is a prerequisite for effective change, and that knowledge of people (cultural, psychological, and spiritual) is often absent when structural change is being implemented. He asserts that people are often more interested in their perceptions of others than the perceptions others have of themselves. His philosophy is expressed by his quote: "In a nation where speculations of money, health, poverty and policy rank supreme in the conscience of the public mind, the most tragic and destructive display of human judgment is still that which conceals the absolute truth of a people."
