TESTIMONIALS

Carrie Burds's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Foundations Workshop provided invaluable capacity building for the Jean Augustine Centre's staff and board. The training was not only informative but also encouraged us to dig deeper and have honest conversations about how we as individuals and as an organization can create positive change.  Carrie is truly knowledgeable and passionate about the DEI sector.  I would highly recommend her services to individuals and organizations seeking to learn and implement sound DEI practices in their personal and professional spaces.

Emma Asiedu-Akrofi, Executive Director, Jean Augustine Centre

Carrie is the consummate HR and Talent leader. She has an astute business mind and marries this with empathy and compassion. She understands what it means to partner with diverse stakeholders, both internally and externally. Her commitment to quality and adding value was evident in our working relationship. She is highly invested in the success and development of the employees and leaders she supports. It was a pleasure working with Carrie!

Lisa Mitchell, Founder, Green Apple Consulting

Carrie's level of expertise on the topics of power, privilege, unconscious bias, microaggressions and micro-resistance is extensive. I have personally learned a lot [from her sessions] in these areas and I know our staff at Merit has too.

Carrie is extremely approachable, with excellent listening skills and a demonstrated commitment to understanding our current framework and offering valuable recommendations.  The Board of Directors was very impressed and appreciative of her engagement and contribution to our overall goal of expanding our commitment to the young girls and women in our community. I would highly endorse Carrie for any organization interested in a fresh HR perspective as I am confident that it too would benefit from her valuable skills and experience.
