Testimonials from Workshops, Consultation, and Training

  • “The conversations that developed among our staff were amazing and everyone walked away with a ‘spring in their step’".
  • “Lots of healing I might say, too.”
  • “Call out and call in really helped me understand the need to confront a problem instead of avoiding it because by using this tool we are solving problems and becoming a better team.”
  • “I think practicing the different scenarios was great, because I'm a younger employee and it was good to see the approaches of experienced teachers who had been working with students for many years.”
  • “I was able to use the tools by listening and putting myself in another's shoes and thinking in a positive manner instead of judging. This is good team building and gives us tools to work together in a respectful way and growing together as a community.”
  • “It was valuable to hear different perspectives especially from people with other backgrounds and life experiences”
  • “I am glad that there were tools, phrases, and scenarios for us to reflect on and put into our tool kit for the future.”
  • “All of it! I love this idea of community dialogue to express triggers and using call out or call in strategies with the intention of seeking to understand or learn more.”
  • “Both the Norms for Dialogue-based on Community Character Covenant & Interrupting Bias-Calling Out-vs.-Calling In diagrams are extremely helpful. They provide some context and anti-confrontational methods with which to engage and have open dialogues with the students and parents. They will help me to avoid having a knee-jerk reaction to a situation.”
  • “Hearing other people's perspectives and insights helped to affirm and challenge some of my beliefs, and it was a good exercise in practicing some of the skills of courageous conversations that we were discussing.”
  • “Nice to discuss with colleagues to make the resources practical and to get a sense of how everyone was feeling about the workshop. Positivity becomes contagious.”
  • “I think the norms and the phrases helped shift my thinking about situations with parents and colleagues in a way where I feel empowered to know what to say next time instead of shying away.”
  • “I'd like to see the school take practical steps in their role in diversity (diversify the BOT, administration/staff) Hire Jenn as a diversity director - we would be so lucky to have you lead us.”
