“Course evaluations continue to demonstrate that our employees appreciate the opportunity to participate, and are walking away with a reviewed awareness and respect for the importance of diversity in the workplace.

Your continued work with our Diversity Champions Group empowers our employees to become true agents of change for the Center. This group has made numerous strides in improving communication among our 1700 employees, supervisors, and managers.

I was impressed with your workshop facilitators, who were able to provide an atmosphere that was safe for revealing true emotion and free expression of ideas. The teamwork exercises managed to pull all 25 very diverse individuals in my class into a single team.”

“My assistant has given you the highest recommendation after attending your public workshop on sexual harassment prevention. She insisted that you energized your participants and were on-target about significant learning points – and she was right.

The feedback following your daylong facilitation has been plentiful and enthusiastic. The managers have stopped me in the hall, left messages on my message service and sent me e-mail to document how valuable the session was for them. They really enjoyed the non-traditional and interactive style in which you organized the program…in a non-confrontational and safe environment.

The session has certainly been a morale booster among those who attended. Some employees have started to implement the action plans that were generated by the end of the day.

One of your most valuable contributions is how you share from your personal experience. You are an ideal model of taking whatever resources you have to achieve the goals you set by taking the initiative to get things done. You really motivate your audiences to do the same in their situations.

Thanks again for a powerful teambuilding workshop.

The participants at your “Board Diversity and Teambuilding” session were extremely fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and well-versed presenter. I was truly delighted at the transformation of these board members from individual participants to group participants.

“I am writing to tell you how satisfied my employees have been with the first presentation of your Conflict Resolution workshop held last month for union representatives and front-line managers. An unexpected priority interrupted my plans to join you. My staff’s enthusiasm following this session has committed me to attend when you work with the rest of my teams. They rated your session a 9.82 out of a possible 10 on the evaluation. That is just outstanding.

Both sides have told me that the workshop was the first time they began to view each other as peers rather than adversaries.

Those who attended told me that they feel a positive shift – that the training gave them a chance to see another side of their colleagues away from the workplace. It enlightened them to look at the overall work relationships in a different way.

Certainly the experiential and non-confrontational techniques of your program added to its effectiveness. The non-traditional setting really worked, so the groups could progress on significant and real issues they now face in the workplace.

In summary, we found your Conflict Resolution workshop extremely valuable and we strongly recommend it to any company that wants to strengthen the bonds among their team members.”

“The workshops conducted provided a safe forum for sensitive issues to be discussed. The facilitators taught employees how to open dialogue which dealt with race, gender, education and organization hierarchy. Each of us learned how these variables affected how we did things in the plant.

With your help we were able to develop long term strategies which would improve our efforts in dealing with diversity and plant productivity.

However, the overall payoff from our involvement in the diversity process has come from the operator’s themselves.

There is no doubt that the training has caused us to better understand the cultural differences which exist among us and had enabled us to better manage these situations.
