What clients say about CultureAlly
Both sessions were incredibly educational and the CultureAlly team brought forth a wealth of knowledge supported by industry professionals. The work CultureAlly does is so important and well done and I always look forward to these sessions.
The team was attentive and were amazing with how they tailored the workshop to our company's needs. The feedback we got from our team was excellent - everyone was very engaged, and loved the content - we will definitely be working with them again!
I've heard from a few folks that they appreciated the session, the approach, the crispness of the content (and your slides!) and the skilled ‘ebb and flow’ between the facilitators. I could not be more pleased and appreciative.
The engagement was very strong both in the chat and in the room.
The speakers offered insights, best practices and practical solutions. Tressler's large audience participated in interactive discussions and gained actionable takeaways designed to drive meaningful change within the workplace.
It really feels like they are part of our organization. They are dedicated, collaborative and really take the time to understand their clients, their needs, and the organization as a whole.
An incredible level of professionalism and diligence brought to every aspect of this process. We were deeply impressed by how the entire CultureAlly team embody the very principles they advocate. We felt we could speak openly and candidly on sensitive topics without fear of judgment.
Empathetic and enthusiastic professionals who made challenging subject matter accessible, relatable and informative. Highly recommend their services.
Working with the CultureAlly team was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They were professional, transparent, and consistently responsive throughout the process. Their recommendations were thoughtful, backed by strong industry benchmarks, and helped us move forward with confidence. Truly an ideal partnership.
I am already seeing feedback from employees that they loved the session. Thank you also for the additional learning/resources you provided throughout the call, so we can continue to dive deeper as a team. Slido was EXACTLY the right tool for this and I was so happy to see all the group participation and that employees felt safe to share openly.
When the Context Is Missing, So Is the Meaning.
Teams usually reach out when
- Employees and managers have gaps in what they learned about colonization, residential and boarding schools, treaties, and their ongoing effects.
- Indigenous Peoples are still spoken about as one group, overlooking distinct Nations, cultures, languages, and experiences.
- The organization wants people to know what respectful support can look like at work and in the community.
Indigenous Awareness Training gives your team a stronger understanding of the past and present, while connecting that learning to choices they can make today.
Learning Outcomes
What Changes After Your Indigenous Awareness Session
Indigenous Awareness Training gives employees and managers a more informed way to recognize assumptions, talk about Indigenous Peoples with greater care, and consider what respectful support can look like in their role.
Workplace Conversations Are Better Informed Teams are less likely to rely on stereotypes or broad assumptions when Indigenous topics come up.
Less Pressure on Indigenous Colleagues to Explain the Basics A shared foundation means the responsibility for education does not fall on Indigenous employees.
-
Recognition Carries More Meaning Land acknowledgements, Indigenous observances, and reconciliation efforts are approached with more understanding of what they represent.
-
Managers Can Spot Gaps More Readily People are better prepared to notice where workplace education, practices, or opportunities may need more attention and raise those concerns.
-
Support Becomes More Thoughtful Your team leaves with practical starting points for continued learning, local engagement, and supporting Indigenous communities.
The result is a team that makes more informed choices about how they speak, respond, and show support.
