“It was a pleasure to have Jackie Lue Raia facilitate a workshop called Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace for our high potential leaders. In my experience as a learning & development professional, I’ve heard many vendors say that they will customize a session for your needs, but I’ve never seen anyone actually follow through and mean it! Jackie met with us several times over the course of planning so that she could best understand the needs of our leaders and get to know our organization, and continually shaped the content to meet our organization. Our participants reported many new insights from the interactive experience and appreciated that our organization is encouraging these conversations.” (Healthcare)
