Testimonials

I came to know about Chanin fortuitously, while doing a reference check on a candidate. After talking with her and developing an understanding of her amazing background in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB), I realized she was just the consultant I had been looking for. Comagine Health is launching a comprehensive effort to embed DEIB in the DNA of the organization. This includes employee listening sessions, a 3-year roadmap to achieve our vision and so much more. While Chanin has significant & obvious expertise in this area, her passion, desire to educate others, her humility, her affability and her zest for excellence are extraordinary. I have worked with top-notch consultants throughout my career and can confidently say that Chanin is in a league of her own! I recommend her without reservation.

I had the privilege of working with Chanin Kelly-Rae when I was planning a City Community Conversation regarding DEI issues in our city. From our very first meeting, Chanin was energetic and committed to helping us figure out the best way to engage with our community members. She was an excellent facilitator of our city community conversation and was not only professional, but kind and respectful to all the participants. Chanin ensured our event’s success by setting firm boundaries and by asking the right questions to establish trust. I highly recommend Chanin for your organization’s needs.

Chanin – Thank you for a great session. I had fun being a part of the group discussion and sharing my experiences. I appreciated your candor and also appreciated that you weren’t offended by my asking you to clarify your opinion of white (and other) people’s biases and willingness to listen. I hope our paths cross again.
