“What a thoughtful, poignant, and empathetic curriculum with highly relevant case studies. The UNLRN trainers were so authentically themselves and managed to quickly connect with the group. The tools and exercises managed to shift perceptions and self-awareness in a matter of only a few hours.” – Molly Robinson
“Omnicom Precision Marketing Group recently partnered with UNLRN to deliver a virtual 2.5-hour training course on Microaggressions & Conflict Management for our employees. We held 20+ sessions for multiple companies within our network across the US, UK & Canada.
The UNLRN team was incredibly responsive, reliable, and flexible throughout the process of building this training and executing it. The training was universally well received, and employee knowledge and confidence in how to prevent, identify and address any potential (workplace) microaggressions, increased significantly. We highly recommend this partner organization to others looking to improve their inclusive cultures with employee training in the DE&I space.” - Leigh Ober, Head of People, Omnicom Precision Marketing Group
