What Our Partners are Saying
The results in the analysis Rise did for us was perfect. It really helps us make the case to move initiatives forward. They packaged it in a way that meant something to the people who were reading it.
Rise met us perfectly where we were at, which was wanting to do something, but needing a lot of guidance with it, but they did it in a way that was really collaborative, and we felt good about it. They were always readily available. We got so much out of it.
Rise just made sense. It was the right combination of services and flexibility.
Jenny Odegard
Associate General Council
ListenFirst Media
We hired The Rise Journey because we wanted a smaller, more personalized service. Jessica and her team were very sensitive, thoughtful and responsive. They helped us to engage our staff in a way that’s meaningful for them.
I’d highly recommend The Rise Journey.
Rachel Potter
Managing Director
Climate Nexus
Through multi-level DEI training sessions led by SMEs of diverse backgrounds, members of our cohorts felt represented and left each session empowered. The Rise Journey team offered high-touch support and exemplified TRUE partnership. By providing us with post-session data, we were able to gain valuable information to inform our training strategy and ensure that our needs were surpassed.
We look forward to working with them again.
