Testimonials for Diverse Minds
Michael Bryant, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, URENCO Group
Thanks to Leyla for a great session on cultural awareness. The real-life examples helped ground the information in reality and allowed us to think about the topics in our own work and personal lives. As an international company, the sections on high and low context cultures were very insightful and will be useful to remember going forward. I would definitely recommend Diverse Minds to friends and colleagues.
Isabella Grable, Head of HR, Lightful
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training helped our team to reach together a level of knowledge and talk about this important topic in a safe environment. It is so important that teams get time to explore their language and behaviour to make sure we are respectful with each other and pay attention to details that could make the difference. Learning together gives the chance to hold each other accountable!
Kat McCarthy, Senior People Change Executive at Far Fetch
This session was so insightful and interactive. Especially compared to other foundational Mental Health Training that I’ve been on. We had the opportunity for great discussions without feeling rushed or forced. It felt a lot more informative and relatable to put your learnings in practice than any other training I’ve been on!
Cara Perry, CEO, Leicester Rape Crisis
I found that the Inclusive Practice training gave me the confidence to understand issues around inclusion. It helped broaden my knowledge of barriers that people face, whilst giving me the space to explore my own unconscious bias in relation to my own professional practice and development.
Melissa Hardy, People Advisor, ASOS Customer Care
Leyla was an excellent facilitator for the courses she has run at ASOS. She clearly has in depth knowledge of mental health and is very passionate about the topic. During the sessions she really encouraged everyone to open up about their experiences, whilst remaining considerate of the sensitivity of the issues discussed. Everyone came away feeling energised and equipped to have conversations around mental health. We’ve received really positive feedback from all participants and are so thankful to Leyla for sharing her knowledge to enable us to better support mental health in the workplace.
