I have been in lots of training throughout my career and was also very sceptical going into this training, however it was by far the best delivery of a difficult subject I have experienced. Exceptional, engaging, and honest delivery

Brathray, Inclusive Communities Training

“Chrissi delivered high-quality, bespoke training for our workforce.

Wider than the training, it has been great to benefit from Chrissi’s expertise in inclusion in the construction sector – I think this expertise has been vital to gaining the buy-in from our colleagues. Chrissi has worked with us to develop materials to support further embedding the key messages from the training.Working with Chrissi has been an insightful experience, and we highly recommend Chrissi to others looking to grow an inclusive, open culture in their organisations.”

“A real game-changer

Chrissi’s work has been a real game-changer for the way EDI is approached in academia and has allowed us to enhance the working culture within the CDT and create an inclusive environment for our staff and students to work and study. This approach has been making waves within the University and has started to be taken on in other CDTs across the Faculty. Chrissi has been a joy to work with, and I cannot commend her work highly enough! “
