TESTIMONIALS
Heidi has been instrumental to helping us with our DEI goals. She leads with empathy and awareness and has enlightened us on how to do that as well. She understands where we are at with our journey and meets us there.
The 1:1 conversations have been in a safe space and very well received. The work has been hard and uncomfortable at times, but she prepared us for that and we understand that this shows that we are growing together. We are grateful for her work and encourage others to embark on their own journey of growth!
- EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NON-PROFIT
I’ve had the privilege of working one on one with Heidi Duss for the past several years. Heidi has made significant and impactful changes in my career. Not only is she able to examine biases without judgement she enables organizations and individuals to have honest conversations on difficult topics.
Heidi creates a safe, holistic and inclusive environment where we can look at our biases without judgement.
- VICE PRESIDENT, FINANCE
Working with Heidi has been a phenomenal experience. We knew what we wanted, but were not sure how to get there. When we moved to a new location and worked on re-branding, we wanted to send a stronger message of inclusivity to our clients, and increase diversity in our staffing. Heidi helped to cultivate the language and opportunity to create a space in Mala Yoga Center that levels the playing field for the disadvantaged, and holds safe space so that people of all identities may show up as their authentic selves. We always wanted to be inclusive, but with the guidance of Heidi, we are truly using our platform to be that space!
