Learner’s Speak – A testimonial

Heather proved to be an exceptional professional and speaker at our D&I Festival - we were fortunate to have her share insights on Accent Bias and Discrimination. Not only did she have a profound understanding of the subject matter, but she also demonstrated remarkable warmth, engagement, and a delightful sense of humour. Heather's presentation has left a lasting impact, and it continues to be a topic of conversation among our team. Her talk was not just informative; it was a truly enlightening experience for everyone attending. Thank you so much, Heather. - Natalia Butera, Adaptive Financial (UK)

Heather ran a highly engaging hybrid session on 'Unmuted' for the Dive In Festival 2024 (Diversity & Inclusion Festival for the Insurance Industry). Heather made the content relevant for the audience and industry, introducing the Unmuted framework clearly and in a way that could easily be applied practically. Our in-person and virtual attendees provided very positive feedback - a wide variety of attendees found many aspects were relevant to them, regardless of their background. I would recommend Heather to any organisation or platform that is looking for an interesting and interactive speaker with content that can be applied to any environment or individual. - Cara Norkett, Charles Taylor (Singapore)
