The information was comprehensive, yet focused. I really appreciated hearing the presenter’s personal experience as an example for the rest of the presentation to draw from.

Attendee, "What Mental Health Recovery Means to Me", 2022 NAMI Wisconsin Annual ConferenceCEO
Very good presentation. I hope to see Sierra on a TED talk in the future. 20+ years of different treatments and speakers and hers was one of the best I've been fortunate to attend. A++++
A patient at the Huss Center for Recovery, NAMI In Our Own Voice Presentation
Sierra's workshops offered a space for us to truly learn and grow as a team, beyond the typical DE&I-type training. She taught us a lot of skills we can use both internally and with our clients, and always included additional resources we could use to dig in further on each topic. I catch myself thinking about some of the learnings in my day-to-day life. I am really grateful my employer offered us this opportunity!
Hunt Adkins employee, Inclusion Workshops
I learned more than I expected to while participating in Sierra's workshops, the information was incredibly valuable for both personal and professional purposes. She creates a comfortable environment to learn about what can be uncomfortable topics and encourages team building through dialogue, while not forcing engagement. I would highly recommend Sierra to any organization or individual looking to educate their team or themselves.

Sierra was our keynote speaker for our Annual Justice Alan Page Elimination of Bias CLE Seminar. She shared her personal story, defined neurodiversity and related terms, shared impactful data about neurodivergent individuals and the law field and gave resources for further learning. In Addition, we hired her to help us plan the seminar content, both her speech and the following panel she was a panelist on because of her expertise. She was incredibly communicative and responsive in the planning process and delivered big during her engaging speech. Many guests from the event reached out to tell us they enjoyed the subject material and some even reached to say they are now planning their own CLE about neurodiversity and would like to work with her.
Event Organizer and Attendee, Annual Justice Alan Page Elimination of Bias CLE Seminar
Sierra, you have a powerful story. I’m awed and thankful you feel empowered to share it with others. You tell it in a way that allows others to feel empathy and compassion; and maybe gives someone the strength to find help for their own struggles.

Very relatable and enjoyed learning more about myself as a Neurodivergent. Will be able to take this knowledge back to the workforce and hopefully instill positive changes.
