Testimonials
"The training provided by RDM and Richard in particular was very engaging, relevant and covered a myriad of topic including diversity, inclusion and unconscious bias . I really liked the introduction of emotional intelligence “EQ” into the training, which allowed us the opportunity to encourage training in this area as well. The training approach was very professional yet laid back, which made the training easy to understand and follow. The Zoom format with breakout rooms was well thought out and delivered in a way that was conducive to virtual leaning. "

"Our organization sought out training on diversity and inclusion in the winter of 2021. I came across RDM Management Group and several other possible training providers. After a conversation to discuss our organization’s needs, we received a proposal that showed me we had found the best possible provider for our organization in RDM Management Group. Starting with the proposal all the way through the delivery of the training itself, I found Richard Marks to be very professional, knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to work with. He presented the topics of diversity and inclusion and unconscious bias in a very understandable, thought provoking way. I would highly recommend RDM Management Group to any organization considering diversity and inclusion training."
