“I highly recommend Waypoint Intercultural’s individual coaching services to DEI practitioners who are navigating a workplace where they are not part of the dominant culture. Liz Greason’s coaching was instrumental in restoring my ability to effectively connect with people along the Intercultural Development Continuum with confidence and agility. My leadership skills have grown tremendously as a result of the coaching sessions and I am able to lead authentically, think creatively and influence change in a way that is comfortable and effective.”

“Fall 2023 Cohort Member “I thoroughly enjoyed my entire time taking this Intercultural Leadership Certification cohort program! Liz Greason is such a wonderful and helpful facilitator. Every interaction I have had with Liz shows that she cares and understands struggles and barriers we face in our daily lives. This is the perfect candidate for someone I want to be teaching me about intercultural topics and ideas. Throughout this program, she also catered a lot of the lessons and discussions to what the cohort wanted and needed during the synchronous sessions and even some asynchronous sessions. I am so happy and wicked grateful I partook in this program. One of my personal highlights of 2023 was the teachings and insights I got from being part of this cohort!”

“Our organization engaged with Waypoint Intercultural for a comprehensive DEI training for all of our employees, and we couldn’t be happier about the choice. 

Liz Greason led multiple training sessions for our teams and continued to spark curiosity and foster deep engagement. As the Executive Director, I was able to observe each of the meetings and it was amazing to see how comfortable each of our employees was in sharing their own experiences. This was exactly the learning environment we were hoping for — Liz’s approach very effectively prompted participants to add context and authenticity so that we got so much more out of these training sessions than we had even hoped for. 

Additionally, our organization required coordination and flexibility — and we asked Waypoint to alter plans several times. Amanda Manning was so organized that we were able to keep moving forward despite the challenges that stemmed from our changing schedule. We just can’t say enough about how positive the entire process was for BASEC!”

“We hired Liz Greason and Amanda Manning of Waypoint for a robust cultural competency training program with 60 of our leaders in the most diverse areas of our company (race, ethnicity, language, gender, age, ability, etc.). Liz and Amanda introduced concepts and practical tools to strengthen both cultural self-awareness and cultural other-awareness in the leadership team. Waypoint’s approach is whole-hearted, compassionate, challenging, and filled with care for learners and leaders across the continuum of skill and experience in these topics. They truly meet leaders where they are and challenge them to push past their edges to learn and grow to be more adaptive. The result has been nothing short of cultural transformation in these areas of the company. Leaders are visibly addressing previously difficult cultural conflict with slowing down, with care and sensitivity, thoughtfulness, responsiveness and choosing behaviors that are much more well-informed by the lens of cultural awareness.  We will continue to work with Liz and Amanda now that we have laid a strong foundation for learning and growth; they have proven themselves to be deeply valuable advisors and guides on this journey toward a more equitable and inclusive workplace.”

“Engaging in genuine DEI work is arguably some of the most important work an organization can do some of the most difficult. We reached out to Liz after I experienced first-hand the harm and division that can be caused by unskilled facilitation that didn’t meet people where they are. Working with Liz and Waypoint was such a relief! Their approach to the work was accessible and invited people to reflect and participate in a safe and open environment. Waypoint provided the right balance of support, encouragement, and challenge to meet individuals and teams where they were and helped to move us along our journey. Personally, I learned so much about myself that has helped me to be a more culturally sensitive leader and human. Developing a shared language and understanding changed the way my workplace talks about diversity and belonging.  Our work with Waypoint has provided us with a solid foundation and lens through which we are evaluating and shifting our policies, practices and procedures.”

“I have a had the pleasure of learning about intercultural communication from Liz Greason over the past couple of years, and I have found her to be exceedingly sensitive to the diverse needs of her audience, understanding, and trustworthy.  The professional learning opportunities she created for my colleagues and me was enlightening and transformative, and I remain hopeful to continue learning from her.  She has a great way of relating to people, meeting them where they are at, and helping them develop a deeper understanding of the world.  She has been a profound teacher for me, and I highly recommend her work to any school or organizing looking to be more culturally sensitive.”
