Testimonials
Deborah is a Change Agent, a thought leader. She was an advocate for diversity and inclusion long before it was popular, a current trend of events. It can be lonely at times doing this kind of work when others do not understand or get it. Seems like more people are getting it.
In my role as a Human Resources Manager, the training and cultural awareness of the Matrix Model Management training will allow me to relate to others as they would like without assuming what they want or need.
When Ms. Levine introduced her story methods and Matrix Model System, lights bulbs went off. Telling our stories breaks down barriers and lets us react on a different level.
One of the most beneficial items I learned as part of the Global Leadership Class was using the art of storytelling as a conflict resolution tool. The Matrix Model System allows me to gauge my comfort level when interacting with others, and helps in making decisions that all those involved can agree on.
Deborah Levine is a wise, experienced, thoughtful teacher who takes an intentional, critical approach towards teaching others about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s not just data, facts, policies, and trends; Deborah strategically pulls from her knowledge, background, and pivotal life experiences, showing you how to facilitate and leverage the theoretical and empirical controls of the DEI discourse.
I’ve known Deborah for almost a decade, engaging in dialog regarding Diversity and Inclusion from time to time. Her efforts and resilience in providing sound advice and consulting, with practical and pragmatic results, is nothing short of spectacular. Her passion for the work shines and her tenure in the field is among put her with the pioneers of diversity and inclusion long before there were any such names.
