"Kristin is a dynamic and very knowledgeable facilitator. She creates a safe environment which promotes honest conversations and questions. She helps connect everything to everyday situations, both on a personal and professional level. We leave with practical changes that we can all make."

- Sue J.

 

"I've participated in quite a few diversity trainings and this was one of the best. Kristin's energy, delivery, ability to set ground rules and then engage everyone in a relaxed, meaningful, and safe way was terrific."

- Marcella B. 

"The fact that certifications and strategy building are married together is what puts this experience over the top and sets EXI apart from the competition. I left feeling like I built more depth in my knowledge, skills and capabilities and more confident as well."
