We are thrilled to share what our wonderful clients are saying about our professional development services! "Al and Keith Toney are among the most engaging, thought provoking presenters in the country. They bring a genuineness and passion that is often overlooked. As they were presenting you could tell that engaging with the audience was at that forefront. Having a real conversation with people in a way that brings meaning and matters is a skill that Al and Keith have honed. It has been easy to work with AK Consulting from start to finish. Customer service is paramount and that is something you can tell is of utmost importance. I would recommend Al and Keith Toney and AK Consulting to anyone that needs a fresh approach to talking about the tough topics in a thoughtful, safe way." January 2012 Justine Hollingshead, Director
NC State University - Center for GLBT Programs and Services

~ "Advocates, Inc. engaged AK Consulting two years ago in a three year contract for consultation and training related to the agency diversity intuitive. We selected them based on their broad experience and skills, and solid references from sister organizations. They have provided consultation and training to our Diversity Advisory Council, Senior Management Team, and our Senior Management Diversity Committee. They helped the DAC establish a leadership structure, provided leadership training, led strategic planning and supported regular Diversity related events. At senior levels in the company they designed educational events specific to our particular needs, provided expert consultation in the development of our overall diversity strategic plan, and consulted to tough organizational issues involving racism and oppression. We have valued their availability, willingness to engage tough issues and questions, and commitment to customer satisfaction." January 2012 Diane Gould, LICSW, Executive Vice President Advocates, Inc. Framingham, MA 
~ "The Learning Center for the Deaf, a school for deaf children preK through high school, hired AK Consulting first to provide diversity training to our employees, and then to work with us as we established a diversity committee to address both the needs of our student population and our professional community. Through this process we had the opportunity to work with multiple trainers and consultants from AKC and were continually impressed with the breadth of their knowledge and the level of their training expertise. They worked closely with us throughout the two year process and left us with a strong committee prepared to take up the work they helped us launch." January 2012 Judith Vreeland - President and Executive Director The Learning Center for the Deaf Framingham, MA 
~ "Rainbow Child Development Center engaged AK Consulting services Inc., while our Agency was in the midst of Strategic Planning to help us incorporate diversity in our Vision Statement through an educational program they facilitated. The program was attended by both faculty and Board members and was well received. AK Consulting Services Inc. is well versed on the topic and ran the program in a professional and inclusive way. Everyone participated, enjoyed the program and left feeling their time was well spent. We accomplished our goal and developed our Vision Statement from a vantage point of better understanding. We were very happy with their services and would highly recommend their firm." January 2012 Anna Mary Kraemer, Board Chair Rainbow Child Development Center Worcester, MA ~ |
