Working with Robin to create our first Diversity and Inclusion Framework was a fantastic experience. She helped us design engagement workshops to develop our Framework that would be informative and enjoyable for the vast range of personnel attending. We asked our groups to express vulnerability and honesty and Robin created an environment where people felt safe to do so.

Robin’s mentoring has guided me to transform DEI from a passion into a profession. Her experience and insights have helped me shift my work from committee-led ideas to strategic objectives and key results, integrated throughout our business. I couldn’t have done it without her!
