“The LYB team is, in a word, amazing. The training is thoughtfully designed and compassionately delivered. The team works hard to provide a brave space where participants can learn in a way best suited to their needs. As a participant, I felt comfortable being vulnerable in my humanity, and at all times was treated with respect. The LYB team goes to great lengths to infuse diversity, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of the training experience, from presenters to content to attendees…I cannot recommend LYB training enough.”
