"You
always wonder when you take time away from the office to attend a
workshop if it will be worth it. Joe's session absolutely was! It is
grounded in research and interspersed with interactive and thought
provoking exercises. Joe's presentation made the topic of diversity a
relevant, personal and business focused issue. This is the best
content I've seen on diversity in recent years."
