What our clients are saying

“As a new business, having the guidance of MT Consulting Group helped us feel confident that we were making the right steps and using the correct language as we set our goals for the future.”

“The content was engaging and thought-provoking, and the facilitators guided us through exercises in a gentle, non-judgmental environment.”

“The facilitators, Sky and Sherilyn, were excellent: clear, attentive, well-prepared, and provided just enough guidance for the group while staying out of the way to allow participants to share and engage with each other. I am usually skeptical of DEI training, and I’ve experienced some that have felt rote and superficial, but this one pleasantly surprised me and it provided a forum for interesting reflection and discussion.”

“The team at MT Consulting Group brought a great depth of DEI knowledge to our Board engagement. They provided excellent resources and demonstrated a balanced approach. I highly recommend their services.”

“This was a great opportunity to talk openly and ask questions, and both facilitators made the space safe and supportive for some uncomfortable discussions to take place.”
