Testimonials 🤎
“Working with the immensely talented leadership at Canopy Equity Coaching was one of the highlights of our organization’s year and added to my own personal and professional growth. Within minutes of signing the contract, I knew this would be a different experience. The way they approach equity and anti-racism work was rigorous, authentic, and additive in every way, and forced us to define what success looked like in clear and measurable ways. They are experts in creating brave spaces as well as building inclusive and equity-centered processes. And yet despite the very hard work antiracism requires of all of us, every conversation with them (whether whole group, small group, or one-on-one) was full of laughter and love.”
-Giselle Ferro Puigbo, Strategic Advisor and former Executive Director Brookline Community Foundation
“Our partnership with Canopy has helped set a solid foundation for our leadership and teams as we continue to evolve our efforts in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Motus. We are committed to education and a people-first approach, and our Canopy equity coaches have worked closely with us to design programming that will have the greatest impact across the organization. This collaboration includes acknowledging the work that has been done to date, challenging us to confront bias that may get in the way of our efforts, and finding flexible ways to meaningfully engage our fully remote team members in discussion-based learnings. We feel that our Canopy equity coaches are very much on our team and willing to grow, learn and adjust right alongside us as we address our people’s needs.”
-Courtney Bardo, Director of Talent Management and Kevin Collins, Director of People Operations at Motus
“Rooted in sympathy and concern, Canopy’s human-centered approach to our equity audit enabled us to identify and name problems while avoiding the pitfall of assigning blame. Without being coached through this concept of compassionate accountability, it’s hard to imagine our equity work taking hold at such a personal, meaningful level.”
-Justin Wan, Managing Director, Upstatement
“Canopy created a safe space for a diverse group of professionals to engage in authentic conversations about how racism shows up in the workplace. Facilitators got straight to the important questions and were genuinely interested in what everyone had to say. It was clear that my thoughts and participation were valued.”

“I came in feeling that racism is all-encompassing and wondering how we were going to find a path to address it and I’m leaving feeling armed to work on some detailed scenarios of what we can do.”
