What people are saying

“SunShower’s Unconscious Bias e-learning is the most engaging e-learning product I’ve seen. We are getting very positive feedback. It is the first time we’ve seen people making a point to tell us how good the training is. Stellar! ”

“The Ouch Video is a great complement to our harassment training since many potential harassment situations involve those “not so obvious” stereotypical comments. As participants watched the video, we could see heads nodding in agreement that stereotypes still exist. Since rolling out the training, employees in all of our facilities across the U.S. are saying “ouch” to speak up against stereotypes.”

“Inclusion in Action eLearning not only brings attention to inclusion as a necessary leadership skill, it teaches skills that everyone in an organization can learn and practice. Best of all, the vignettes are realistic and really grab your attention.”

— Gerry Fernandez, President and Founder, Multicultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance (MFHA)

“Joel Lesko and SunShower Learning have produced the gold standard of anti-bias training that will have a lasting and beneficial impact in business, industry and education. If equity, diversity and inclusion are important goals for your organization, community and the nation, then this interactive training video will teach employers and employees concrete skills to confront and disarm microaggressions (bias and bigotry).

The training teaches targets, allies and bystanders specific actions that involve making the ‘invisible’ visible, disarming microaggressions, and educating offenders. It is filled with real-life examples of harmful microaggressions, along with tested intervention actions that can be taken to create norms that reinforce an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming environment.”

“Joel was wonderful to work with! He was great about meeting with us in advance to ensure the training was everything we needed it to be and created a very supportive, safe place for folks to be vulnerable, learn and reflect. We did the Disarming Microaggressions training at my office and it sparked quite a bit of important and open discussion.”

— Erica Curry

“The resources available at SunShower Learning are enabling our Human Sciences specialists to share important strategies for communicating respectfully in the workplace and local community. The OUCH!

“After extensive research, our organization landed on Sunshower Learning to help execute DEI training for our leaders. This was absolutely the best decision we could have made surrounding this initiative, for Joel and his team are not only responsive when we had a question or needed support, but their material is relevant, timely, and grounded in research backed studies and analyses on these topics. We used Sunshower Learning for both live virtual training as well as their Train the Trainer program. If you or your organization are searching for a group that tackles these tough topics with knowledgeable concepts, valuable conversation, and measurable results, SunShower Learning is the answer.”

— Emily Fieser, Director of Culture + Development at Natural Retreats

“During the height of COVID, it was critical that we find a way to provide effective training utilizing a virtual platform. A variety of training options were considered; however, the utilization of SunShower Learning served as an invaluable tool during these unprecedented times. Having the option to access online modules and videos enhanced the information we presented to our customers in a virtual fashion. This also reinforced the information the customers received with the option of accessing the training portal at their leisure. We look forward to providing our customers the same level of excellence in person.”
