WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT GARDENSWARTZ & ROWE... "I have had the opportunity to work with Lee and Anita on two intensive training events where Lee and Anita presented the SHRM Diversity Train-the-Trainer four-day certificate program to approximately 40 in-house Detroit Edison diversity facilitators. "What I liked about their approach was:
"What is it like to work with Lee and Anita?
"Lee and Anita are experts in their field. They know the business of diversity. Through their teaching technique, we were able to raise the confidence level of many facilitators that I think I was about to lose. If we need a 'shot in the arm', I wouldn't hesitate to contract with them again." Nikki Moss
"I have dealt with many consultants over the years and I found the level of professionalism, integrity, and creativity exhibited by Lee Gardenswartz and Anita Rowe to surpass all others. Their collaborative approach and superior knowledge base produced innovative solutions to difficult situations. They provided customized material and most important, they followed-up. The organization I worked with derived rich benefits from this truly dynamic duo. I look forward to working with them again in the future." Cheeneah Maria

"I am privileged to have worked with Gardenswartz & Rowe for nearly a decade. During this time, Gardenswartz & Rowe was instrumental in helping Sempra Energy develop highly successful and recognized, innovative and creative approaches to diversity training and development. They are particularly adept at working through abstract and complex issues&emdash;critical in our continually changing work environment. I look forward to achieving new heights with Gardenswartz & Rowe in the new millennium." Berlinda

"I was faced with an opportunity and challenge in 1990 as a newly elected bank president. The bank was foreign owned, Its customers were majority older Americans with important concentrations of newly immigrated groups, Asian and Latino. The challenge was to manage a diverse workplace, market and ownership. The opportunity was to develop a successful sustainable banking business in Los Angeles. It is my belief I accomplished both. "I used Gardenswartz & Rowe's cultural sensitivity workshops in my bank. I believe Gardenswartz & Rowe made a huge difference in the way our staff interrelated and they now better understand why persons of different cultural backgrounds may react differently to the same situational opportunity. They learned that cultural differences are not bad, they are simply different. Staff members would come to me for weeks after the seminars to express that Gardenswartz & Rowe's sessions were an enrichment program without peer, and I noted that they related to one another with more confidence than before. I sensed they felt better about themselves. The staff turnover at our bank was far less than competitive banks and for the financial services industry in general, I think in part due to our staff's exposure to the approach, expertise, and sincerity of Gardenswartz & Rowe. In a word they live their subject. And it shows. I hold them in high esteem as a resource in business and I am honored to have Lee and Anita as friends. Richard

Lee and Anita are two of the most professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate individuals I've ever met, much less had the pleasure to work with as consultants. Their more than fifty years of combined experience in diversity make them stand out as true leaders in the field. They are also unique in their extensive experience with helping healthcare organizations get a handle on diversity. They were formative in the movement in America to focus on valuing individual differences among both employees and customers as a way to enhance satisfaction, morale, productivity, and market share. Shands HealthCare is extremely fortunate to have such competent and committed consultants assisting us with this sometimes challenging but very important strategic initiative. Wendy
