| Within a course of Human Resources Leadership Program in GE I was taking part in Laraine's cultural awareness training and was amazed not only by the depths of her expertise, but also by the passion, with which she is sharing her knowledge of the subject. I also was several times seeking Laraine's professional advise and expertise while working on culture/diversity related projects and was always getting a great piece of knowledge based on real life examples and hands-on experience! |

As a global diversity and inclusion practitioner, Laraine brings solid experience with strategic insight of various cultures, practices, and norms. I have known her for several years and have leveraged her as a thought leader, speaker, and consultant/coach on a number of critical initiatives that I’ve implemented at SHRM (the world’s largest HR association). I appreciate her thoughtfulness, candor, responsiveness, and professionalism.

| I had the opportunity to listen to Laraine’s passionate, thought provoking and down-to-earth speech at the 2010 Internationally Educated Professionals Conference. It was a speech that rang true for our new Canadians. Laraine’s motivational speech has inspired me to continue to do more to make a difference in the lives of others who face employment barriers. |
