Testimonials

"The modules in the DEI Deep Dive masterclass are short but excellent. The facilitators are fantastic. I learned about bias, both conscious and unconscious. I learned a great deal about how I can be perceived by groups not within my “social” circle and how I perceive them. This DEI masterclass showed me things about myself that I liked and things that I didn’t."

"I really enjoyed the DEI Deep Dive Masterclass courses. I definitely gained perspective on things I’d never really considered before. Very well done and appreciated. I highly recommend this course for any businesses looking to better themselves and make themselves more successful."

"I did think adding specific training to DMOs and what we do was very useful! I also liked how the instructor opened up right away with the question that I know many, including me, have- “is it Blacks, African Americans, etc.? I think he was point on about “think family, build relationships with the African American Moms” and be sincere. Overall, I really liked it! Well done!"
