About.

Anthony Witte / Diversity Consultant

Anthony lives by the motto: “Be more curious than certain.” He believes that when we take the time to understand where people are coming from, their perspectives often make sense within the context of their lived experiences. For Anthony, genuine curiosity is essential to navigating complexity, strengthening relationships, and developing thoughtful, sustainable solutions. He believes we are wiser together than we are alone.

In every interaction, Anthony demonstrates a deep commitment to listening, learning, and creating space for honest dialogue. He welcomes multiple perspectives and fosters environments where people feel both challenged and respected. Grounded by empathy and guided by humor, he has a natural ability to reduce tension, build trust, and cultivate authentic community. People value Anthony not only for his thoughtful insights, but for his ability to listen deeply and respond with openness and curiosity.

Anthony’s perspective has been shaped by a rich multiracial and multiheritage upbringing. Raised by a Jewish father from The Bronx and a Chinese American mother who instilled deep pride in her culture, he learned early to navigate different worldviews with attentiveness and care. Living in Asia during the 1990s further shaped his appreciation for mindful observation, nuance, and the importance of preserving dignity and “saving face.” From his New Yorker father, he inherited a respect for directness, discipline, and doing the work at hand. Growing up in California taught him the value of balancing candor with kindness and considering issues from many angles before developing conclusions.

Anthony believes that extending grace, practicing patience, and staying engaged through discomfort are necessary parts of addressing the complex challenges we face. Through authentic relationships and collaborative problem-solving, he believes people can get to the root of difficult issues, build lasting trust, and create meaningful change together.

Change.

What leads to real change?

We all have a lifetime of experiences, social identities, and messages that contribute to who we are today. The process of change begins with slowing down, recognizing how we approach situations, and how we react. We all operate under the influence of our implicit bias, which doesn’t make us “bad people” or less than, but human. Through reflection, we can manage and mitigate our biases, better understand those of others, and forge authentic, healthy relationships while becoming our best selves.
