Presenter was very effective and passionate about creating or empowering leaders to be culturally responsive leaders.

- Phenix Leaders Admin Retreat, June 2022

I like that our presenter was human. Meaning she had a story to tell, she shared personal moments (traveling, reading "Eat, Pray, Love" a book that I am currently reading for the first time after watching the movie a million times :D) loved the energy and information. I had the liberty of openly expressing my honest thoughts. I try to train on such topics because I want to provide the best quality health care to my patients but after listening to this information a few times in different settings by far this training was refreshing. Also, being able to go into groups was a first for me. Thank you for this amazing presentation.

- Central Health Hospital (Module 1 - Culturally Responsive Organizations -Shared Language & Shared Tools), May 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed learning from others in the organization about their experiences and ideas that can continue to shape the overall goals of DE & I.

Dr. Morgan was very engaging, unscripted, and down to earth. I didn't think I was going to enjoy this training as much as I did. The music was also pretty good.

Thank you for the presentation and creating the open space for sharing and absorbing, whether in our small groups or with everyone.

I think this was presented perfectly, it was an open and welcoming environment. I am leaving with what I think is the best experience I have ever had in any training. Especially looking at the topics that were covered

This was a very engaging training. The group work was simulating and didn't feel burdensome, which is hard to do. Great presentation!

I’ve participated in many DEI trainings and this was one of the best!

Impressive use of technology!

Excellent presentation - rich and valuable content that everyone should be exposed to.

- Collection of feedback from CSC - Intro to Culturally Responsive Orgs, May 2022

These workshops have been the best! I looked forward every month to being in this venue. It was a safe space to speak authentically, learn and look forward to sharing what I have learned with others, and really analyzing these "tough topics" (quotes because of the term; these are necessary conversations more so then tough topics). It has been one of the most real discourse communities/workshops I have attended. I look forward to convincing other organizations and companies to book these workshop because this conversation needs to be had and spread wide. Thank you for this learning experience and the knowledge that I have collect and will share.

Wonderful lesson/activities! Uncomfortable at times but that is how you make progress Growth through pain.

- Phenix Leaders CRL - Part 4 (Silence Breakers), Mar 2022

The workshop opened my mind to some of my blind spots on my personal biases. I shared some of the discussion on implicit biases at a meeting later that evening and everyone reflected and acknowledged an implicit bias.

- LCAN DEI Session 2 (Implict Bias), Mar 2022

I have been a professional going to conferences and workshops since 1999, and now Zoom meetings for the past two years. This workshop is THE BEST workshop I have attended in all my years. It was right on time, right on the mark, and much needed in my world. The presenter(s) were filled with an energy I needed, the material was informative and concise, and made this tough subject learnable and enjoyable. I look forward to signing up for ALL future workshops that this team gives, and will be certain to tell others to join!

 -  LCAN DEI Session 1, Feb 2022

I appreciated the reminder of the bigger service: we are responsible to the community we serve and we delivery/negotiate through systems. Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down be the details of the system so it feels like you are serving the systems.

-  Project Wild DEIB Outreach Plan, Feb 2022

I have really enjoyed all of these sessions. My grandmother is Japanese, and my brother looks more Asian than I do. So, I have grown up with lots of comments made that I never realized were isms... this has been so enlightening and I greatly appreciate it!

- Phenix City Leaders - Isms PL, Jan 2022

This was the absolute best session! You are always engaging and allow us the opportunity to discuss difficult topics with each other. The Salem family appreciates you and your work with us! Thank you for spending time with us and helping us with this important work!

- Salem High School - CRP Part 5 - Theory to Action, Jan 2022

Love the energy and passion Dr. Morgan brings to her presentations. She is open, honest, and extremely knowledgeable!

- Phenix City Admins Part 2, Dec 2021

Dr. Morgan's energy is always great! The topics we discuss are on my mind even when the session is over.

 - FCAN DEI Session #2, Dec 2021

She was amazing. Not the typical boring training. She kept us engaged the entire time and it was fun!

- Salem High School, Oct 2021

I am a new employee, so I can't speak to the history, or the previous sessions. But, if The Executive Learning Lab had anything to do with the hiring practices, and creating this 6 part orientation for us new assessors, it's working. I have a strong sense of belonging that has been absent from some of my previous positions in other organizations.

- NAEYC #WillingToWork  - From Theory to Action, Sept 2021

Loved Patricia’s style and authenticity, and the way she brought her whole self to the work. Invited us all in, taught us without making us feel “less than” for not knowing the material. Really enjoyed the whole experience!

 - DEI Retreat for The Two Rivers Public Charter School, July 2021

I loved how she brings energy to the classes and can get people to have real conversations on sensitive subjects. Enjoy your traveling and maybe write a book :)

- Rockdale Paraprofessionals, June 2021

Fantastic and good information for us in any setting! A family gathering, a different job, the grocery store or vacation! Love your classes!

- Rockdale Paraprofessionals, June 2021

I feel that this workshop has deepened my awareness of what it takes to educate students who may or may not be like me.
Dr Morgan has a way to touch the tough topics with a smile. She is awesome.

 - CRT Part 2 for CJ Hicks, June 2021

This presentation was high energy and kept us engaged. Valuable information was given in a non-threatening manner. Quick breakout rooms over the course of the presentation with the same participants allowed for greater comfort and participation. I thoroughly enjoyed this PL.

- GSCS Science CRP, May 2021

This is one of the most inspiring and insightful sessions I have ever attended.

 - CRT Part 1 for CJ Hicks, May 2021

I thought this presentation was one of the best PDs I have ever participated in. Everything was organized, easy to access, and the whole evening ran smoothly. I can tell that a great deal of preparation, thought, and rehearsal went into this presentation. I am really impressed with the level of professionalism and I look forward to using what I learned tonight!

- LGBTQ PL, May 2021

So informative, necessary and real. The presenter's honesty, knowledge and authentic shared experiences were perfect. It's an evening so I appreciate the 2-hour window, but there definitely should be a part 2. I would be the first to sign up!  

- LGBTQ PL, May 2021

Dr. Morgan and Dr. Bidwell created a safe space for us to be uncomfortable with what we don't know and walk away with new knowledge and opportunity.

- LGBTQ PL, May 2021

You were wonderful. I was so impressed with your energy, honesty, and knowledge. I was worried about staying present on the last day before spring break (and imagined your math class video), but your presentation was so engaging. I am really looking forward to doing this work and to our next session with you.  

- Chase Street Elementary, Apr 2021

I thought the [Privilege activity] was a very powerful exercise. Really impactful way to reflect on what privilege's one might have and carry unknowingly and push us to consider what we value most and would fear not having. 

-  Chase Street Elementary, Apr 2021 

This presentation was so well organized and paced, I never felt as if my time would have better spent somewhere else, which is rare :) Thank you so much for the obvious time and effort you put into this for us and for our children! 

-  Chase Street Elementary, Apr 2021 

I cannot get over how powerful this session was. It was amazing to be part of this series with fellow educators.  Hearing from colleagues about ideas, strategies, experiences, tools, and resources was invaluable.  Additionally, hearing Dr. Morgan speak candidly about her own experiences in the educational setting both as a student and as a professional was extremely helpful because her stories and examples anchored the big ideas we learned and discussed to the tangible work I do every day in the classroom.  - MetroRESA, Mar 2021

 This training provided some very concrete and easy to follow tools by evaluating how we look  through the lenses of race, injustice, prejudice, hate, racism, isms, etc., learning the importance of having those courageous conversation for the sake of working toward a solution in our  workplaces, communities and in our nations.  Dr. Morgan, thanks so much for this training.  As educators,  it's imperative, we start the conversations of "racial healing," especially now.  Having these conversations within our school buildings can be the bridge for our communities to cross as we become advocates for change in our nation for the sake of our children's children future.  I really enjoyed it, and appreciated that you made it fun! It was a safe place and I am much better prepared to deal with uncomfortable conversations. - MetroRESA, Mar 2021

This training has made a huge impact on me as a parent, teacher, PLC chair, and facilitator. It has helped me continue to grow my CRP, how to deliver those tools to others, and how to continue to make our content relevant to who matters most, our kids. - MetroRESA, Mar 2021

 Dr. Morgan's kindred spirit is very warm, and welcoming.  She has created a presentation that is fun, engaging and interesting, leaving many of the participants wanting more.  I loved the fact, that we are learning from each other and utilizing other platforms  such as (padlet, and nearpod), in order for us to jot down our shared thoughts.  Love the breakout rooms, music and positive energy!! Can't wait for our next sessions.    

- MetroRESA, Feb 2021

I love how Dr. Morgan makes herself transparent and vulnerable to engage us in authentic conversations that help move the profession forward when it comes to issues of equity. 

- MetroRESA, Feb 2021

 Thank you for bringing your authentic self.  It was refreshing to attend a PD that was personable, relatable, and engaging. I could see aspects of myself in you, and that representation was so needed!  I can tell you love what you do.  

- MetroRESA, Feb 2021

These trainings are jam-packed with information and I really liked that we were given practical strategies to take with us and use in our daily lives to interrupt racism and prejudice when we encounter it. I also love that we get a chance to talk with our colleagues in small groups and always wish they could be longer conversations!  

- NAEYC Jan 2021

Patricia has a keen understanding that the people best suited to do the work of bringing about change within a specific organization are the people that work in that organization. Her presentations are structured to provide us with the tools necessary to do the work ourselves based on our own understanding of our organization's starting knowledge level and specific needs, rather than relying on her outside knowledge or assumptions about our organization to do the work for us as other facilitators often attempt to do.  

- NAEYC Jan 2021

This was perhaps one of the best training sessions that I have taken. The presenter did a fantastic job to keep me engaged and she kept the information interesting.  

- Rockdale Paraprofessionals, Jan 2021

Great workshop unpacking DE&I in a fun and engaging manner that inspires work groups to reject negative unconscious biases and become culturally proficient! Very cool facilitator! Do you train students? Ready for your next workshop 😊 

- Rockdale Customer Service, Dec 2020

Thank you for presenting what is a sensitive topic in a way that was both upbeat and positive BUT ALSO informative and provoked thought.  

- Rockdale Customer Service, Dec 2020

Thank you so much for such an amazing presentation and workshop. Zoom is a bit slow with connection, but even that wasn't an issue as your sparkly presentation, your way of making the topic so extremely clear, understandable and personal really made me enjoy every single second of it! Thank you so much!  

- Epidemic Sound Nov 2020

Patricia, you are AMAZING!! I loved it SO MUCH! Your knowledge, how you keep people engage and you beautiful laugh. Your workshop really opened my mind and heart! 

- Epidemic Sound, Nov 2020

The presentation was engaging, organized, effective and upbeat. Dr. Morgan knows how to make a heavy topic one that's digestible but still accountable.  

 - Epidemic Sound, Nov 2020 

This was wonderful. As someone who feels fairly confident in this area, I was totally engaged and learned plenty. I hope that the folks who have lots of work to do in this area learned as much! 

- Rockdale Culturally Responsive Leadership, Nov 2020

I expected there would be a lot of awkward silence and staring at the floor but the way the content was presented (PERMISSION SLIPS!!) set the stage for everyone to be open and help bridge the big divides. 

- Aug 2020 - Virtual Conference

Dr. Morgan is a great presenter. She has a lot to offer in this increasingly diverse world. It's critical to have these talks especially with what we saw and what's been going on in our nation. We need to give her more time for individualized sessions.
 - Jul 2020 - Virtual Conference 

Thank you for always being a charismatic presenter and sharing pieces of your life with us.  This makes you relatable and approachable, I appreciate that tremendously.  

   - Jul 2020 - Virtual Conference  

As a black woman navigating even the most “progressive” of places, implicit biases and racist undertones run deep - especially on less diverse teams and departments. Dr. Morgan has such a way of speaking and there was definitely a productive ripple that I saw through my co-workers. I feel confident in advocating for myself and our mission using the technique she spoke on. - Nov 2019 - U.S. Soccer Foundation (D.C.)

Patricia Morgan approaches what can be tough topics, in both a professional and light-hearted way. Her desire to discover, learn and grow alongside her peers is contagious.
- Nov 2019 - U.S. Soccer Foundation (D.C.)

Dr. Patricia Morgan was a very motivating speaker and presenter. She was transparent

Patricia was awesome! I loved her personality and openness about these topics!  

- Nov 2019 - Paulding County, GA

Thank you for the presentation. I believe this can help not only improve our school environment, but community as well.

 - Nov 2019 - Paulding County, GA 

I truly enjoyed the presentation. You were authentic and sincere in your delivery of a pretty sensitive topic. The activities were engaging and thought-provoking. Today’s topic will help me better serve my students as well as building a sense of community within our classroom. Thanks so much!

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy is a topic that needs to be shared frequently because we can all say we don't have any cultural issues, racial bias, etc., but the honest response is we all do. Dr. Morgan creates a learning environment creates a safe place, acknowledges and celebrates participants feeling, views, and emotion on a difficult topic.

- July 2019, Savannah Chatham  (GA)

While arranging the different stages of cultural responsiveness from least to most appropriate, I was reminded of two people in the room who helped me move from culturally blind to culturally sensitive. I immediately reached out and thanked them. I also saw before my eyes the next steps I needed to take.

- July 2019, Savannah Chatham (GA)

 I have been teaching in a culturally diverse setting for many years. I have also been through many cultural and diversity training. This was the best one I have ever attended. The trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable and culturally sensitive. I would highly recommend this training to everyone. 

-Mar 2019, RM Moore (GA)

This was the most well presented and useful material I’ve ever received in a training. The presenter is engaging and truly passionate about the material presented.

In 35 years of teaching this ties for the only 2 great inservices that I have attended! Bravo! You really connected.

-Oct 2017, Northwestern Middle (GA) 

 This program was excellent. Much better than most PD we are forced to endure. Thank you!

-Oct 2017, Northwestern Middle (GA) 

As a minority, I thought I knew all about race and culture but I was enlightened by this presentation. Wonderful presentation!

-Oct 2017, Northwestern Middle (GA)

35 years of teaching and finally an excellent, engaging inservice.  I learned, I digested and I enjoyed!

-Oct 2017, Northwestern Middle (GA)

Dr. Morgan creates a safe space and builds opportunities for meaningful discussions about sensitive topics. The presentation was informative and interactive. The time went by so much more quickly than I expected!

- Oct 2017, Milton, GA

Dr. Morgan was engaging and warm. This was, hands down, the BEST PD  I have ever participated in in my 19 years of teaching.  This woman makes me want to go out and try to do her job!
