Testimonials for Diverse Minds
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.

Leyla helped us to put together and conduct an excellent series of workshops on anti-discrimination, equality and inclusion. She conducted this workshop in Singapore, a different cultural context for her, however, all the sessions went brilliantly. In no small part due to the cultural sensitivity and hard work by Leyla and her team. Continue Reading Preman Rajalingam, Senior Lecturer, Medical Education Lee Kong Chain Medical School, Singapore
