Bio
Eileen Hogan Heineman
I have been fortunate to work with Gloria Woods, both in her capacity as a facilitator of training on systemic racism, and as a consultant creating and facilitating our organization's work on racial equity. Gloria has an uncanny ability to listen well to her client and then utilize what she has heard to develop the process most likely to lead to organizational transformation. She thinks outside the box when creating strategies that will encourage buy-in by all constituents, and creates a positive atmosphere by balancing the work to be done with the successes already achieved by her clients. I highly recommend Gloria Woods' work and look forward to future collaborations with her.
Andrea Pimentel
Gloria constantly finds news ways of being of greater service to the client and her primary focus is helping organizations achieve sustainable results. She makes an extra effort to understand how a client’s business works, which enables her to customize the appropriate solutions and provide meaningful recommendations. Gloria brings passion, humor, and a creative spirit to her work and she is fully committed to advancing diversity and inclusion both in and out of the workplace.
