Agueda Dudley-Berríos
Feeling really grateful for the space [in Liberatory Workplaces] to do this thinking & reflection together. That feels like the thing we are missing most - space & time to reflect & imagine.
Meaghan Perrault
I believe this course provided valuable insights that could benefit both my personal growth and my professional development.
Larry Irvin

Lorraine Dillard
This was the best investment in self that I have ever made. So grateful for being able to participate in this and have access to the resources provided.
Toni White
This training was the peace I needed and the understanding I lacked. I don't have to be angry that someone else isn't giving me what I need to be great, I am enough and I can be enough when I give my energy to others.
Damier Johnson
In this profession, I deal with a lot of emotional issues and at times it gets the best of me. This course has taught me to ground myself whenever I feel uneasy and to put my emotional needs first so I can better serve my clients.
Tiffany Russell
Practicing radical self-acceptance and magical thinking have made me more optimistic, with less self-doubt. I feel more grounded being able to either succeed or learn (not fail) in my work. Removing constraints of what I think/ thought a leader "should" be allows me to develop into my potential. Better understanding myself as a person and leader means I can be more present in my work and mindful of my purpose.
Tania Trigueros
Before this training I felt so alone and burnt out. This training helped me see that there is a community of supportive people out there and that many are feeling the same way. In just 5 weeks, I grew and I honestly think it was because of the training and everyone in the training.
Milton Davis
This was a phenomenal way for me to contextualize what I value about the work as a newer staff member.
