Testimonials

“Linda Jenkins delivered exceptional training sessions to our agency on recognizing unconscious biases. The trainings were highly beneficial and included engagement strategies such as videos, table talks, and quick assessments. Linda’s approach made complex topics accessible and actionable for our team. We greatly value her expertise and recommend her trainings to others seeking to foster more inclusive work environments within their organization.”

“Linda took a subject that is often difficult to discuss [unconscious bias] and made it accessible and relatable to help us better understand ourselves and our customers.  We are thankful for her workshop, and for her support of libraries.”

“Ms. Jenkins presented the Five Strategies for Disrupting Your Unconscious Bias workshop for business and industry professionals. Her presentation style was engaging and the exercises really helped to bring clarity to the material. She presented relevant and up-to-date research and resources, and tools to discover your own unconscious bias. I would certainly recommend Ms. Jenkins for her knowledge and presentation of this topic.”

“Working with Linda Jenkins was a pure delight. She’s knowledgeable, thorough, flexible, and was responsive to the needs of our Board of Directors. As a result, the board retreat she helped facilitate is one of the best in the organization’s history. We are already seeing the pay-off in terms of increased board engagement and understanding their roles and responsibilities. I can’t recommend Linda highly enough.”

“The disrupting unconscious bias training Linda Jenkins provided for our employees and board members was both poignant and powerful! We feel that it was such an important step in helping us begin our ongoing journey towards DEI. Linda’s trainings had a wonderful mix of real-time group exercises, instruction and resources to help our organization develop a framework for how we will proceed with our organizational alignment towards our DEI goals.”

“It is quite clear Linda has done a lot of research on the disrupting unconscious bias information she provides. One thing I really like is the fact that she provides unknown resources that you can use immediately. I found value in the breakout sessions because they were helpful in hearing and sharing viewpoints with colleagues in a setting that allows you to be yourself without fear of judgement.”

“We contacted Linda as the recent protests about racial inequality had prompted many conversations about how we as an organization can help promote anti-racism. As a support organization to public schools across the state, we aim to support schools with curriculum and training support. We hired Linda as we wanted to first look internally at our organization and how we can best provide an inclusive and supportive culture for all employees. While most of our staff was excited for the training [Disrupting Unconscious Bias in Your Workplace], some staff members had reservations and worried about how they would be received in the training. These concerns turned out to be unwarranted as I’ve received nothing but positive feedback about the sessions we held, and many have requested additional training. Perhaps most importantly, our sessions with Linda have set us up for further internal conversations and I’m excited that we have the opportunity to improve our workforce culture and have a process in place for continual improvement.”

“In 2018, Linda Jenkins assisted Tulsa Lawyers for Children in surveying the effectiveness of its Board of Directors. The results indicated the by-laws needed to be updated and aligned with best practices. Ms. Jenkins determined the organization would function more effectively if the Board created several new subcommittees to address development, governance, financial matters and recruitment.  Over the course of a year, she attended numerous ad hoc committee meetings, met one on one with staff and key volunteers, conducted two retreats and offered encouragement and guidance all along the way. The end result was a Board of Directors not only committed to the welfare of the organization but fully engaged and equipped to empower the organization in fulfilling its mission of serving abused and neglected children. Tulsa Lawyers for Children would highly recommend Ms. Jenkins to any organization interested in implementing best practices. She was a calm and measured voice providing wise counsel and recommendations when needed most.”

“Linda Jenkins, owner of Jenkins Consulting Group, was approached to facilitate Morton’s Board Retreat. The objective of the retreat was to refine the strategic planning processes for the company and allow the board members as well as the executive staff to focus on best practices and outcomes for our patients and the organization.

Linda’s method of facilitating the retreat was impressive. She was highly knowledgeable of advanced facilitation techniques, articulate, professional, informative, practical, and she engaged her audience to full participation throughout the retreat.

I highly recommend Linda Jenkins to all nonprofit organizations because she is a BoardSource Certified Governance Trainer. With her certification, Linda is qualified to promote excellence in nonprofit board service. And she is of doing this through her specialization to improve the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations through strategic planning and board development.“

“It was the most compelling strategic planning event that I have ever attended. I went in with dread but I came away with a sense of renewed enthusiasm for the future of Morton. Linda kept us engaged and on task the entire day – a major undertaking considering the weather was dark and rainy. I look forward to working our plan.”
