"Abi led our team through a meaningful, spirited discussion on the origins of systemic racism, how it has impacted communities of color - particularly the Black community - and what direction we should take as allies moving forward. This workshop was a foundational one that everyone needed to hear, no matter how uncomfortable some of us felt. As an expert in this field, she called us into this conversation from an angle of "racism is everyone's problem" and broke down the many forms racism takes. I truly wish this session lasted longer, because it sparked genuine feedback and vulnerability from teammates that I had never witnessed before. Please please please...if you are considering how to bring diversity, equity, and inclusion to the forefront of your organization/team, speak to Abi. She took our individual team's needs and crafted an effective workshop on how to be an authentic ally. I cannot recommend The Diversity Partnership enough and their lifelong work to break down systemic racism and oppression"

"I'm super grateful for people like Abi because due to her firm but true words, I finally feel seen. It's difficult talking about negative experiences in the workplace, so for Abi to come in and say all the things I've been wanted to say for years outloud, I am grateful.
What's amazing is seeing behaviours change positively now that we're slowly going back to the office. People are being mindful of what they say and that's because of Abi's training.

"I felt really lucky watching Abi answer some difficult questions regarding hiring people from diverse backgrounds and how to retain them. She is super smart, thoughtful and very funny (though I’m not quite sure what I expecting). I thought the Q&A was just excellent and lots of valuable and tangible messages were reinforced by Abi.  What a way to kick off the year!

“Abi ran a fantastic grassroots of DEI session at ustwo, their energy and content kept us thoroughly engaged for 2 hours - which is no mean feat on zoom! Not only did we learn a lot together we also made a fast and tangible action as a direct outcome of the session. When discussing job descriptions and wording we realised several of our open roles reflected exactly what you should NOT do - we immediately updated all our open roles that same week and shared the learning and outcome with our teams internally so we don’t make that mistake again. It’s a small instant win, and something we might not have caught had we not done the training. Thank you Abi and Stasia for helping us do better.

"Wow! If we had to choose one word to describe Abi's talk it would be powerful! The session Abi did with our team was so incredibly impactful and informative. Abi spoke about some challenging topics with such passion and kindness. Thank you for going above and beyond to get through so much material in an hour and staying on the call to answer all of our team's questions. Big thanks again for such a wonderful session, Abi! We're already looking forward to part 2 :-)

"Abi had a monumental impact at Fiit with her powerful and thought-provoking workshops. They were truly inspirational, sparking powerful conversations that carried on after every meeting. She creates such a positive and engaging environment but also knows how to challenge us and help us confront our biases. Having regular workshops enabled us to keep on top of our thinking and not lose track of our challenges. As a result, we saw a shift in the business, where questioning our privilege and prejudices became part of the culture.

"We were so impressed by everything Abi was able to cover in a short amount of time, as well as the level of nuance, analysis, and perspective she brought to all of the topics we discussed. She did a great job engaging our employees, and we received a ton of feedback afterwards that people found the session impactful & inspiring. Abi's singularly relatable & down-to-earth approach makes very heavy topics digestible without compromising their seriousness or gravity. She was the perfect speaker for us and we cannot say enough good things about working with her.

"I just had the pleasure of joining your session with Google Canada. I can't say enough about how incredible it was, and how much I appreciate you sharing your experiences & deep diving into Black history in Canada. I love your energy, and hope we get to see A LOT more of you Abi.

“The Diversity Partnership recently led a training session at my workplace on "Anti-Racism & Cultural Appropriation" hosted by Abi Adamson. It was one of the best work training sessions I've ever attended, extremely engaging and full of insightful information. Abi has the ability to break down very complex topics in a simplified manner and answers questions in a non-judgemental manner, making everyone feel safe. I highly recommend training by The Diversity Partnership for your workplace.
