Dr. Hoffman and team produced an incredibly insightful, deep-thinking, critical report that will guide our work in this area for the next 5 years. She was able to dig into the realities of the staff members on these teams and identify barriers and challenges that we had not yet realized ourselves. Dr. Hoffman is an expert in this work; I can think of no one better to bring to a campus to assess this work!

We engaged her services as a consultant to deliver racial identity training at our organization. She was charismatic, insightful, and powerful. I was impressed and grateful at the safe space she created for courageous and meaningful dialogue with ~100 people. I highly recommend working with Joy.

Through her skillful facilitation, our team was able to meaningfully engage in a safe but at the same time brave space that allowed us the opportunity for personal and organizational learning, reflection and growth. Based on our very positive experience I am happy to recommend her for other such trainings.

Perhaps you want to build trust among your team that is grounded in organization, division, or department values, shared language, understanding, and expectations. Did you just complete an assessment or review and need further training or workshop facilitation? Maybe you don’t know where to begin but you know that a first step is necessary. Let me help you: Explore options, needs, challenges, perceptions, assets, and growth areas. Articulate your goals, strategies, and intended outcomes.
