people Leaders

“I’m familiar with her work on developing and leading training curriculum, special events/presentations, leading focus groups, individual coaching, data analysis, and strategic planning.

I would highly recommend her and her company, PEOPLE3, for any of the above. The extra preparation time she puts in and her passion for providing an excellent experience are apparent in her finished products!”

“We worked with people3 to provide multiple training and listening sessions across our growing company. Dr. Candace Warner and her colleagues demonstrated expert knowledge, empathy, patience, and humility towards our team to help us learn and grow during these turbulent and sensitive times. The professionalism, effectiveness, and flexibility that People3 offered to us makes the organization a no-brainer choice for a consulting partnership for years to come.”

“We highly recommend Candace and her team if you’re looking for an engaging and insightful training for your team, and we look forward to working with them on future initiatives!“

“Candace and her team have been instrumental in shaping our internal platform for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Starting with our team leaders, we have not only begun an education process, but we are building a stronger basis for empathy and understanding. People3 took the time to understand our business and our culture as they developed the content and curriculum for us, creating a more engaging program than we expected from this type of training. We will be using People3 for continued consulting and training for our entire organization and look forward to working with them on how we can continue to learn and be more thoughtful in our dealings with each other and our clients. Candace and her team approach their work as true partners to our organization and we are thankful to have them on our team.”

“People3 provided a training session for our team on diversity, inclusion and unconscious bias. Daniel, who was our presenter, customized the training session to our mental health setting and helped us to explore the value of diversity and inclusion among our own team at Achieve, as well as for our patients and the community at large. After an initial group discussion, our staff felt particularly comfortable in the break out sessions sharing personal reflections and insights. This helped us to not only better understand each other, but also highlighted the importance of recognizing unconscious bias in everyday living and the need to embrace the diversity and the differences among all of us. We will be continuing our work with People3 and look forward to future training sessions that will allow us to continue this journey to build new skills and enhance awareness.”

“The people3 team is working closely with us to hear the voices of each employee in the myNEXUS family. Starting the program with the people3 team will provide us with insight and guidance have to us on a path to growth and support like we have never seen. D&I is a founding stone of our organization, and for us, “good enough” will never be good enough…we are excited to continue down the road of teamwork, camaraderie, compassion, understanding, and support for many years to come with people3 helping to support us in that endeavor.”

“Candace’s “Recognizing and Mitigating Unconscious Bias” workshop was excellent. She is very passionate about the many layers of Diversity & Inclusion, and it comes across in her presentations. The content of the workshop was tailor-made to the demographics of the firm. I fully recommend Candace if you want people to understand diversity through their minds and hearts and want real and lasting change in your organization.”

“Candace listened to our specific needs to create a list of topics to address the specific challenges we are facing. She then designed a presentation and curriculum for those without making it seem like we were complaining or being negative with our team. The team was like a sponge and absorbed all the information while also engaging with Candace. They appreciated her style, the content, and especially the opportunity to be heard and interact with one another!

We will definitely be working with People3 again to develop and train our caregivers on additional topics.”

“We worked with people3 on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training for our group practice of mental healthcare professionals. Not only was the training tailored to DEI in the mental healthcare industry, the training also offered grounded practices for our clinicians and staff to begin engaging in their everyday lives. Our staff walked away from the training feeling empowered to more intentionally practice DEI in their work, as well as eager to learn more from people3 in the future.”

“We worked with People3 to provide a capstone presentation for a five-part series on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for our team at OneFifteen. They asked the right questions, were eager to tailor it to our industry and our unique community. We appreciate the thoughtful approach and eagerness to build on our previous speakers. Ultimately it was a huge success that continues to spur meaningful engagement from our organization.”

“Candace put together a customized set of trainings for my team, a group of writers and editors, to help us understand ways in which we can address diversity and inclusion issues in our manuscripts. Everyone arrived with varying levels of understanding of inequality issues, but we walked away feeling even more aware of them and armed with helpful strategies for how to recognize and correct them should they come across our desks. Candace also kindly provided us with some helpful resources to keep and refer back to down the road when we want to build on our new skills.”

“Our company is embarking on a new and intentional journey focused on diversity and inclusion.  Our first step was to identify a consultant partner to lead us on this journey.  We embarked on a search with the assistance of Lockton, and interviewed several companies.  We narrowed our search through numerous meetings and discussions and ultimately chose people3 due to their fit with our company.

People3 checked all the boxes, in addition to fitting with our culture, they had extensive experience in both manufacturing and distribution environments as well as a global presence.  They come at it with a holistic view and have met our specific requests along the way.

I am also very impressed with their technology and professionalism. Their responsiveness to our needs is impressive and exactly what we need as we embark on this new and exciting path for our company.”

“Through their guidance, we have implemented meaningful strategies that have positively impacted our organization. People3’s tailored approach, deep understanding of diversity issues, and innovative solutions have been instrumental in leading our DE&I Committees to creating an environment where we feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute our best. We highly recommend people3 to any company seeking to drive positive change and embrace diversity and inclusion wholeheartedly.”

“People3 was also indispensable in assisting us to establish necessary quantitative and qualitative benchmarking metrics to measure our DEI performance and impact. Their experience and expertise has made our lift lighter!”

“The information provided was backed by statistical data but was presented in a way that was very relatable. By diving into unconscious bias, key life events, and personal testimonials, our team came out of the presentation with ample information and tools to communicate with employees more effectively across different generations. We highly recommend and will definitely reach out to People3 for future presentations/trainings.”

“People3’s trainers were highly knowledgeable and engaging in the topic of DEI and created a positive learning environment.

We are confident that the knowledge and skills gained from their training will have a lasting, positive effect on our organization, our employees, and the families and communities we serve.”

“The team invested time in understanding our goals and effectively synthesized the provided data to craft an engaging and interactive workshop. We wholeheartedly recommend People3’s services to others in search of DEI experts dedicated to fostering workplace inclusion.”
