"The level of attention and customization we received from The Silverene Group is to be commended. The ‘Align, Adapt & Inspire” training program provided the necessary strategic introduction to DEI at AAPA so all staff could develop common language and understanding around inclusion, diversity, unconscious bias and also learn about the impact of biases, micro-inequities, and stereotypes. The Silverene Group created a program that adapted to our needs, and pivoted when necessary to ensure that the training program would effectively align and support our overall DE&I strategy."

Patricia Beeson, Vice President Human Resources, AAPA

"I have worked with some good coaches but what distinguishes Fiona from others, is her own corporate experience and her ability to create an effective comfortable and safe space. She has been quite insightful and used her skills and expertise to help me see myself from a completely new perspective. While being always supportive and sometimes radically candid, she was always able to provide both a healthy and humorous debate to my decision making."

Rebecca Varghese, Global Vice President and Controller, International Justice Mission ®

"The Silverene Group has added to the success of our organization in many ways; they created and implemented a robust and inclusive process which resulted in a set of Core Values along with a work plan that we could execute. We prioritized work to be done from the results of an employee engagement survey; The Silverene Group worked with the established DEI Work Group, organized and facilitated confidential focus groups, and delivered the feedback and action plan with professionalism and grace. These are just two examples of how The Silverene Group helped us strengthen our culture. They are outstanding partners to have on your side, and I recommend them with confidence."
