Testimonials

“I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Dr. J and his experiences. I am going to challenge myself to do better at identifying my unconscious biases. And also look at our recruitment and retention processes to see if there are any barriers preventing us from reaching diverse backgrounds.”

“I’ve had multiple people personally tell me how much they specifically enjoyed your talk and genuinely felt there was so much to take home from it. I personally especially appreciate your discussion around vulnerability and being open, as I currently find with some leadership people it’s either missing or not appreciated. Based on my conversations with attendees it clearly resonated with them.”

“I wanted to thank you for delivering such an inspiring and powerful presentation - it really complimented the other sessions in the meeting. We received some really positive feedback from the audience. Our leadership team felt that the presentation touched on a lot of difficult, but real situations we encounter in our day to day work. They appreciated your guidance on how to navigate these challenges.”
