WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Implicit Bias Workshop Attendee (2024)
"I found Crystal's implicit bias training to be both engaging and directly applicable to my work. She used clear, practical examples that helped me see how bias shows up in real situations, and how to address it in practical ways.
As a higher education professional, I have been through a lot of these kinds of trainings; Crystal's was one of the few where I felt like I left with insights I could immediately put into practice."
Implicit Bias Workshop Attendee (2024)
"Even after years of reviewing, this training reminded me that there are subtle ways fatigue or distraction can shape how we judge. It gave me both the language and the tools to notice those moments and ensure that I am maintaining consistency.
Dr. Clarke's approach made the familiar feel urgent again, and it pushed me to bring a more deliberate focus to how I evaluate each candidate."

Implicit Bias Workshop Attendee (2025)
"Crystal presents in a smart, commonsense way, utilizing language that makes potentially dense material instantly accessible and understandable. In our training, she helped us see how implicit bias is both natural and avoidable, as well as something we need to be aware of and, more importantly, work to correct.
Her emphasis on "encouraging curiosity" put all of us at ease as an actionable method we could immediately put to use."
"Dr. Clarke has been an invaluable partner to Eskolta over the past three years.

She brings a thoughtful, human-centered approach, balancing deep listening with insightful guidance that honors and uplifts diverse perspectives. Her ability to foster meaningful dialogue and strengthen organizational systems makes her an exceptional asset."
We highly recommend Dr. Clarke to any organization seeking to enhance leadership, culture, and strategic growth."
