It’s a program for everyone who ever wrestled with their own trauma driven responses, as well as everyone who ever sat alongside someone dealing with hidden trauma. With many years of corporate and business experience behind me, I would recommend this material to all insightful organizations in today’s stressful world.

Dr. Maiysha found ways to be engaging, informative, and relatable despite an entirely virtual format. I especially appreciated her commitment to science-based learning and willingness to share examples from her personal experiences, which helped demonstrate her tools in action. I have participated in several other professional learning opportunities related to communication and Dr. Maiysha’s trainings have been the best by far. Since completing the modules, I have been able to take important mindset tools about listening, belief systems, and difficult conversations and apply them in both work and personal settings.

• Along with colleagues at Yale, I participated in her educational training series "Communication that Transforms." Dr. Clairborne has a phenomenal teaching style that embraced each individual regardless of their previous learning/comfort with the subject matter. After participating in hundreds of training sessions, I was particularly impressed with her ability to merge theoretical foundations with practical applications. I also loved how each class in the series built on the previous class without repeating and replaying information. I have already used some of the diagnostic tools Dr. Clairborne taught us to help me identify better communication approaches and tactics. I highly recommend Dr. Clairborne as an educator and the curriculum she has developed is incredibly impactful.
