In Their Own Words

  • This course was everything. I didn't know what to expect but it was so enlightening and I learned so much about being a leader and finding purpose.

    -Participant, Leading Across Differences Session

  • "This course with Dr. Rachelle Rogers-Ard far exceeded my expectations. The material was communicated in a way that was easy to grasp and even though these topics can be huge it was digestible in a way that could hit and make sense. I left with so much knowledge and key tools to navigate anti-racism and differences and how that impacts leadership. Ultimately the difference between leadership and managing."

  • "This session absolutely exceeded my expectations! I have been looking for training and professional development that will allow me to take my knowledge and theoretical understanding of white supremacy culture and put it into action in my work. I am so excited to continue this leadership cohort and build towards full integration of these principles into my work. THANK YOU for this fabulous opportunity!"

  • "This training exceeded my expectations. If I could continuously use the reaction buttons during the zoom session I probably would have, although that would have been distracting. I was completely engaged and want to take any and all courses offered by Dr. Rodgers-Ard. The information is presented in a way that is consumable and even challenging topics have the space to be processed. There are clear definitions provided so we can all start on the same page and it helps to set the tone for expectations. I enjoyed the break out sessions and the journal topics. I would recommend this course to my peers and to my leadership."
