TESTIMONIALS

• I thought Chris' facilitation style was excellent. Clearly, he is very passionate and appears to be very well educated on the topic. I appreciated him popping into smaller group discussions!

• Chris did a terrific job. The information that he sent prior to the start of the class with introducing himself and the information that he provided for setting the stage for our time together. He has a calm and relaxed facilitation style that works really well especially with a sensitive topic. I would highly recommend him to other groups.

• Really enjoyed this training. Even virtually, the content and format was great.

• I really enjoyed the space you (Chris) created of non-judgment, that came across strong. Also to reiterate that we all learn from mistakes and it's OK to say something that's wrong that we could talk about making better; that's the biggest obstacle of overcoming the uncomfortable feeling that arises.

• Great supportive environment, liked the concrete examples for individual development and group action steps.

• I appreciated Chris' optimistic attitude ...I think Chris did a great job of laying out where the organization falls without being judgmental. Thanks again! Great session!

• Thank you for providing the training via zoom to our staff last week! It was convenient (and safe) to be able to meet over zoom, and your facilitation made sure that the training time was engaging and interactive.

• I really appreciated the balance of personal sharing, practical tips, and lecture/small-group/large-group time in the training. I think that made it effective for folks to think, reflect, learn, and share.

• Thanks also for tailoring the training to our team. I was glad that you shared the improvements we've made. But we have so much more work to do to in addressing bias in all aspects of our searches, and operate the hiring process with a more inclusive approach. Thanks for bringing this training to our team to help us move toward our goals.

• Thanks a million Chris! It was a wonderful session and have received such positive feedback and praise from the group on how we now have some great steps to move forward.

• Chris has a really personable and warm facilitation style, while also being honest, realistic, and direct about the challenges involved in this work. I thought he found a good balance between sharing information and advice from his own expertise and experience, and inviting us to share questions and thoughts with each other.

• Chris was awesome! I learned a lot and I'm excited to be able to incorporate his suggestions into the hiring work we're doing.

• Chris has a very relaxed facilitation style which is welcoming and makes it easy to participate.

• Chris - this was really engaging and offered us a lot of actionable ideas to try.

• I wish we had been able to have Chris for a longer workshop, I'm sure the stories that we didn't have time to hear would have provided some good connections to real life hiring situations. Overall, this workshop was excellent. So much good content, and concrete suggestions for improving our hiring process. Thanks, Chris!
