Work that works
We're committed to understanding the impact of our training—for us and for you.
Our evaluation process includes collecting workshop data and feedback from participants, which paints a picture of their learning and takeaways, as well as how and where they plan to apply their new knowledge. Through pre-and post-training surveys, we measure how much learning occurred as a result of the training. And we often have the privilege of witnessing breakthroughs and connections being made in real time, which underscores the immediate impact of our sessions.
Our success is validated through volumes of client testimonials and enduring partnerships, where we witness transformative shifts in workplace culture and practices. Many clients progress to our Peer Guided Learning program, a testament to their commitment to sustained learning and DEI integration. Our ultimate aim is to empower clients to lead their DEI initiatives independently, fostering enduring organizational change through their commitment to anti-oppression.

“Attending the workshop on racism was an eye-opening and transformative experience. Through thought-provoking discussions, interactive activities, and insightful presentations, I gained a deeper understanding of the systemic issues surrounding racism and its pervasive effects on individuals and communities. The facilitator skillfully guided us through challenging topics, encouraging us to confront our biases and privileges with empathy and humility.
This workshop was not just an educational experience; it was a catalyst for personal growth and societal change. I highly recommend it to anyone committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace and world.”

I came away not feeling exposed and vulnerable, as one might expect, but rather enlightened and with the desire to learn much more.”

“I approached this workshop with the "I do not know what I do not know" attitude and I was not disappointed. I learned a lot and my eyes have been opened...a little...I have a long way to go.
While I still do not know what I do not know, I am encouraged and better equipped to keep exploring and learning.”
—Mark S. Andrew, Concert Properties

The workshop was relaxed and welcoming, even with having to discuss emotionally charged topics. It was very helpful to have a safe confidential space to discuss workplace issues and solutions. I’ll be recommending this to colleagues.”
