Testimonials 

"I attended a presentation that Ann Su did in Eugene about implicit bias. She was outstanding. Not only did she present the material quite effectively, but she also had the attention of the audience throughout. She accomplished this not only by making this difficult topic interesting, but also by engaging the audience in an interactive way.

Let me add that as a former attorney and career services professional, who now runs Human Resources at a government agency, I particularly appreciated that she brought in her legal understanding as an attorney, but she made the presentation accessible to all people of all backgrounds.

I highly recommend her."

2018 eugene public library event: creating inclusive communities by combatting the negative impact of implicit bias

"I asked Ann to come and present about Implicit Bias as we rolled out a new hiring process. Ann was able to present information in a manner that made us think through not just how we hire but also how we present ourselves to the community, internally and externally. Her presentation sparked conversation and action to help us continue to grow in our EDI work. 

I would recommend Ann to those who are ready to think through processes and are open to making changes. "

2018 De-biasing hiring practices 

“I saw Ann's presentation on Unintended Consequences of Implicit Bias at a Women's Center for Leadership event. I appreciated how Ann guided the group and encouraged conversations about our unconscious biases and how we form them. I left the presentation empowered to find my truth about my bias and ready to learn ways to talk through, overcome and change my ways.

I was so inspired by her presentation I requested she come to speak at an all employee event at my company to ensure we continue to spread the word on this important topic. I would recommend Ann to anyone ready to make a similar change."

November 2017 Women's center for leadership event: unintended consequences of implicit bias

"Ann Su was the perfect facilitator to launch our series of “Crucial Conversations” at Portland Community College.  Ann did a masterful job of dancing with a bit of attendance chaos (late-comers and early leavers), while always maintaining the energy and interest of the entire group.  Professional yet engaging, Ann set the tone for a safe and lively interactive event, and guided the group with humor, honesty and wit.  It was a very successful event and a pleasure to work with her."
