‘When people ask me why diversity matters, I tell them to spend a week with my husband and me. Terry and I are diverse in age (18 years), ethnicity (white/Asian) as well as a variety of other traits (I like chocolate/he likes vanilla). But those differences, when combined, are our biggest strength. They’ve gotten us through 27 years of marriage, raising three kids and leading multiple businesses. It’s served us well having two owners to look at situations differently, hear different points of view and bring different ideas to the table. Sometimes we arrive at the same answer, sometimes we don’t, and sometimes we are both wrong. After all, no matter how diverse we are, we are both still human.’
