Testimonials

• Dr. Shirley Davis is one of the most dynamic and captivating speakers I’ve seen on stage. She’s humorous, full of energy, and keeps people fully engaged and on the edge of their seats. As she shares her real life personal stories, setbacks, strategies, and solutions, she inspires, empowers and motivates others to achieve greatness and to go to the next level. And I’m proud to call her a member of the Les Brown Speaker’s Network.

• The Diversity and Inclusion seminar presented by Dr. Shirley Davis was one of the most informative and engaging sessions that our management team has experienced. They enjoyed the interaction with others from different departments. Positive remarks about Dr. Davis was given by many in attendance, in that, they now see the changes they need to make in their management skills to engage their staff a lot better and include them in some of the decision making. I was also told by several that they hope she will be able to come back again. We really appreciate Dr. Davis for putting this West Texas employer on her schedule. It was well worth it!

• Dr. Shirley Davis is a powerhouse when it comes to HR and Diversity & Inclusion. The Design Management Institute (DMI) chose to invite her to our inaugural conference on Diversity & Inclusion because we felt that she could help us set the right tone and effectively communicate what can be a sensitive topic in an appropriate way. Sure enough, she came prepared to inform and energize our community to take on the D&I mantle. DMI has embarked on a journey to enhance and enable change in the design and innovation community from elementary school to the professional and executive ranks. Thanks to Dr. Davis, we believe we are starting on the right track.

• Dr. Davis has been my success and career coach for the past three years. Each month I look forward to her inspiration, and practical tips on how I can improve my life, not just my career.

• Dr. Davis spoke at our convention this year and she was one of the highest rated speakers we’ve had in a long time. The audience hung on her every word. She had us laughing, taking copious notes, and learning new strategies that I plan to use in my daily work. In fact, she had to stay an hour afterwards to accommodate the long line of attendees waiting to greet her. This has never happened in our company training programs. Thanks Dr. Davis

• Thank you, Shirley. The presentation was exactly what this group needed. The fact that you are a subject-matter expert on unconscious bias shined through and your energy was captivating. Several of the executive team members told me that it was excellent.

• Dr. Davis is engaging, knowledgeable, and relatable. She covered an enormous amount of content in one afternoon and did it in a way that kept our entire team on the edge of their seats, eager to engage and participate. Diversity and Inclusion drives innovation and Dr. Davis helped our team reflect on own unconscious biases and our individual leadership styles. Our team is now applying the concepts in tangible ways as we continue to build a diverse and inclusive culture.
