I’m on a mission to reach 1 million people with the message of inclusion. After 20 years in financial services, I left the hustle of Corporate America to focus on helping organizations build inclusive work cultures.

I had a dream of helping international students who want to study in the US, but I’d sat on the idea for too long. I needed a trusted advisor, so I reached out to Beth. Beth was approachable and humble and turned out to be exactly what I needed.

What continues to draw me to Beth’s work is that she really has this open-the-front-door kind of approach. She’s so open. She doesn’t make anyone feel judged. She creates safe spaces, which is not an easy thing to do with DEIB work. She really makes you feel seen.

I think the amazing thing about Beth is she really she did such a great job of establishing what her approach was, who she was, and then and her process and it which was really unique. She asks questions of people in the room to look at DEIB issues in a totally different way. And that has been super successful – her session is always one of the highest rated offerings we provide.
