My phone has been blowing up all day with thank you's from her audience. She opened our minds and our hearts and gave this company concrete things we could do immediately to make a difference.
People felt at ease and really opened up in ways I think will be helping us move forward on the diversity journey for a long time.
Valerie Alexander captivated our audience. It was an eye-opening discussion for some attendees, and as topical as ever.
Simply sensational! This was by far the most engaged our audience has been in a virtual program all year!
We covered topics that can be uncomfortable, but Valerie's mastery in helping our teams guide through those moments was amazing!
“We had to pivot once the pandemic hit. Valerie didn’t miss a beat – she was gracious, flexible and adapted her keynote as a master in the Zoom setting.”
