The voices in the shadows

“The voices in the shadows was a stirring image, and the specific examples of what to say were effective. The most powerful piece of learning for me was to establish that it is better to say something that is imperfect, rather than waiting to think about the right words and saying nothing.”
— Cher, HR Professional

Words of praise for Ouch!
Your Silence Hurts

I have one word, FABULOUS!!! This video gives real, gut-wrenching examples of individuals and situations. Most important, it challenges people and gives them the idea that they have the ability to confront stereotypes by showing them how. Ouch! Your Silence Hurts will be so helpful because most people want to do something, but don’t know what or how.   
— Anita Rowe, Ph.D.
Partner, Gardenswartz & Rowe; Co-Author, Emotional Intelligence for Managing Results in a Diverse World
Finally, a video that shows the viewer exactly how to respond in moments of diversity-related tension! No blame, no guilt, no conflict – just practical, specific skills that can be immediately applied in the workplace. Ouch! is a must-have and a must-see for anyone seeking to create and sustain a respectful workplace.
Sondra Thiederman, Ph.D.
“I’m so passionate about the tools that the Ouch! program brings because they give people the opportunity to have a layer of protection and safety that helps them know what to say in the moment. Practicing these tools is what helps people speak up. And I tell people all the time, speak, even if your voice shakes; you’ll get better at it.” 
Lisette Martinez
Chief Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Officer, National Audubon Society
