“Our leadership team worked with LaVada to grow ourselves within the world of DEI. We took her Intercultural Development workshop so that we better understand as a group and individuals what bias’s we bring to our company in an effort to ultimately be better, more understanding leaders. The Inventory survey and individual results were extremely helpful as we learned there’s always room for improvement even among the most accepting of us. This course is perfect for any leadership team honestly willing to work on themselves individually and as a group to understand where the gaps lie as we all strive to be more inclusive leaders.”

"The IDI process was extremely eye opening and insightful. LaVada walks you through it and breaks it down so well. I loved listening and thinking of examples in my personal life of how I show up or did not show up. I am really excited to reach out into my community and do my part to bridge gaps. LaVada and her staff (Tanya, I’m looking at you) are such kind, personable people and they make it just that much more of an enjoyable experience."
