Our company was interested in moving forward with some training and assistance based on our company’s commitment to enhancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the fabric of our corporate culture. Based on a referral, we connected with Zach Brewster. Zach’s response to our request was prompt and directed. Before giving us any suggestions or comments, he wanted research on who we were, what our core values are, and the background of any work or training we had done in the area of DEI. After his research reviewing our information, he suggested an in-person meeting to further understand our company and our goals. We advised Zach our initial interest was to have him present at a workshop for our employees. Zach then discussed with us his suggestions regarding an outline of how he would discuss and present the DEI topic. We scheduled him to come to our workshop. Prior to that he coordinated his slides, content, and other details with our team, so no one was surprised about his needs or his recommended presentation.
Zach presented for approximately 1 hour at our event. His content is exemplary. His knowledge in the field was clearly evident by what he was saying. Even more importantly, he knew his audience so his comments were spot on for our specific needs. He approaches DEI from a lens that is unlike any other professional I have worked with. He challenged us on our blind spots, he applauded us for the work we had done, and he gave us a call to action on the next steps.
Zach has an incredible command of his audience. Every one of our employees was attentive, engaged, and inquisitive. His presence was powerful. His messaging was thought provoking. You know a speaker is doing a great job when no one is staring at their cell phones – at our event all eyes were on Zack and his presentation. Also, there were many questions and much discussion after his remarks. I heard from many employees who said, while they considered themselves well versed in the DEI topic, Zach provided insights and an additional angle that they had never seen. They were thrilled that such a dynamic and knowledgeable speaker came to our company to discuss a very important topic.
We are excited to continue to work with Zach about our next steps. He has been open to moving forward on our timetable and budget; and in line with our pulse of our employees and his personal feedback on where these next steps should go. Zach calls his work with companies a journey – we are thrilled that we allowed him to guide us then and now as we navigate and explore this journey.
