“Firstly the session today went extremely well and has been very well received by RGA associates across the region. Thank you for your help in arranging for us to have Pauline. I really enjoyed hearing her story and her insights and I know that this sentiment is shared based on the feedback received so far.”
“Thank you so much Pauline for an inspiring and honest conversation. As a POC, everything you’ve said resonates and the most of the people I would imagine are allies themselves”
“You’re so right Pauline, we all need to move out of our comfort zones and seek out people outside our own background who we can listen to and learn from. That’s the only we can understand and challenge our own bias. Thank you for such an engaging and open session. And having worked with Lloyds of London, totally admire how you grew even stronger from that highly institutionalised organisation!”
“I would just like to say I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge and that your positivity shines through – for me you have been a light at the end of a tunnel.”
“An example of strength and determination and an example of a good human!”
“This session has been brilliant. Thank you Versus Arthritis for supporting staff to make time to learn about barriers POC face and how we can tackle them”
“I could listen to you all day Pauline”
