Sherley is an excellent presenter, as were the others particpating.

I enjoyed the program. I work in the field of diversity and inclusion, so most of it was review, but I appreciated the presenters' perspectives and insight.

This CLE provided insight to problems and struggles that I have not personally faced. It provided good strategies to ensure that I do not become part of the problem but rather part of the solution.

Very interesting and enlightening discussion.

I enjoyed the personal perspectives given. Thanks.

Good thoughts re board of directors and who gives you advice.

This course was very well done. I took away several new insights about Diversity, and I intend to apply the concept of a developing a diverse "Personal Board of Directors."

As a trial atty, the topics were helpful in presentation, jury selection and discussing my clients during the proceedings.

The presenters gave me a lot to think about as a leader in my firm.

I appreciate the definitions of implicit bias and micro-aggressions and the concepts of "building your board" of diverse people who influence your day-to-day decision-making, as well as the ways to intervene when witnessing bias against colleagues.

These presenters did a good job with a difficult subject.
