What Are People Saying?

“Erie Insurance has partnered with OpenedEyes for several years to continue to build a vibrant and inclusive community for our employees. Our work with OpenedEyes focuses on creating meaningful dialogue and broadening our perspectives on important topics like workplace bias, microaggressions, mindfulness best practices, and enhancing cultural competency with leaders and employees. We look forward to collaborating with OpenedEyes on new engagements and efforts in the future and encourage others to explore the wide range of services they offer.”

“The Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority (EMTA) has one of the most diverse work forces in Erie County. Addressing the inevitable challenges that this requires can be daunting. Issues around diversity, equity and inclusion are among the most sensitive that workplaces face. It requires both a deep commitment from the organization and a steady, competent and engaged partner. OpenedEyes is that partner. With the help of OpenedEyes, EMTA provided trainings in Cultural Competence to our 200+ employees, and created the first ever EMTA DEI Committee that includes representation from all EMTA departments, is gender and race balanced, and brings together union and non-union employees to act as catalysts for cultural change. We are now in the third phase of this effort and OpenedEyes is still walking with us providing ongoing and focused leadership development to our DEI Committee. Working with OpenedEyes has been, and continues to be, a great experience and one that I highly recommend.”

“I want to thank OpenedEyes for not only presenting information but creating spaces for much needed dialogue. Our students were able to be candid and vulnerable without fear of judgement. Conversations lead to change; OpenedEyes is doing their part by laying down firm foundations to build those conversation on. I look forward to more Mercyhurst University and OpenedEyes collaborations in the future.”

“Brandon has spoke out our Welcome Day several times now, and there is a reason we bring him back. His message is important and resonates with all our students. Not only that, but he interacts with the students and makes connections with them. He really brings people up out of their seats and has a unique way of making people feel comfortable having a conversation about uncomfortable topics. We find Brandon is the best way to start our Welcome Day, and also be purposeful about the message we are trying to send. As long as Brandon is willing, we will keep bringing him back!”

“As a professional in the Social Work world, I have participated in a lot of DEI trainings and have delivered similar trainings in this space, too. The virtual training provided by OpenedEyes, however, was the best I have seen. The training was comprehensive, engaging, easy-to-follow, and had a good balance of lecture and participation in group activities. Brandon is an excellent presenter and really makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend this organization for any diversity training needs you may have!”

“Probably the most valuable assembly program we’ve had here at MPS. Keep up the wonderful work, gentlemen! God bless you.”

“The OpenedEyes team has a gift for facilitating honest and sensitive conversation about difficult topics.”

“The presenters were extremely knowledgeable and this was one of my favorite sessions because we all became truly engaged.”

“This session was very informative. I feel like I am better able to handle situations in a more culturally sensitive manner.”

“We feel blessed that we were able to bring OpenedEyes into our school community to help us further our mission of being inclusive, and recognizing the dignity in all persons. OpenedEyes was able to engage the students in both large and small group settings, which provided every student the opportunity to contemplate the information and to respond in a comfortable setting. Our Board of Trustees Chairperson was in the building that day and was enamored with the ease in which Opened Eyes interacted with our students. This is a program that will reward any community willing to participate.”

“I can’t say enough nice things about the team with OpenedEyes! They have helped us at The Nonprofit Partnership as we embark upon the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion journey. They have been imperative to our progress in this realm and I am so grateful for having been connected with Brandon. Whether you need help with a one-time session, an extensive training opportunity or you’re just looking to add a good human or two (or 5?) to your network, OpenedEyes has you covered.”

“The students really enjoyed the program that was presented by OpenedEyes. Many students opened up about their thoughts about diversity and what it meant to them. It brought awareness among the student body. The presenters were excellent and really related to the students.”

“OpenedEyes came and delivered a powerful message to our faculty, staff, and students here at Penn State Shenango. Brandon’s passion and delivery helped provide essential information while maintaining a safe space for our participants to share their personal experiences. OpenedEyes helped facilitate discussions and dialogue that are vital for the growth and development of our campus. We look forward to having the group back to present again.”
