CulturGrit has shaped our organization in exceptional ways, focusing on the growth of the individual and corporation through development of our team’s skills to value diversity, empathy, inspiration for change, and conflict management.  The impact of CulturGrit has been a more inclusive, dynamic work place that embraces awareness, and the confidence to adapt to diversity.

I had the privilege of working closely with Samara in a couple of areas and her guidance and expertise proved to be invaluable to the organization, and to me, personally.

My decision to ask Samara to be my coach was immediate. I trusted Samara as an expert in her field and as someone I knew would guide me with kindness and without judgment. 

A primary focus of our coaching was on my growth as an inclusive leader, especially since I manage an international team who come from many different cultural contexts. However, we also focused on my career and personal development more broadly. My work with Samara transformed me as a leader and as an ally. I am so much more knowledgeable on DEI principles and best practices, and I've been able to channel my learnings into action throughout every aspect of my job (and personal life).

I'm deeply grateful for Samara's coaching, which has helped me grow both professionally and personally in so many ways!

Development and Communications Director at time of coaching)
