Woodland Park Zoo Testimonials
Most financial workshops are about money and tools, and hard and fast rules. I really appreciated that we didn't get into any of that, and it was a focus on our relationship with money, our identities, behaviors and allowed us time to sit with many dimensions that are not often around money.
I appreciated the trauma-informed and decolonial framing around money and our relationship to it. It shows a commitment to staff well-being in addition to hard skill-building.
An action step I plan to take is to be kinder to myself regarding my feelings and trauma around money
I would love to see this series return. I feel more individuals would benefit from participating if it were advertised correctly. It isn't a budgeting series, but a series that helps you understand what money is to you and how you perceive money. Again, thank you so very much.
Word of Mouth:
Diana's approach and perspective on how to decolonize engagement with clients is foundational. By framing a liberation perspective on therapeutic services, it has challenged me to think more about the internalized role of person-based services. I will be eager to think about how to integrate or adjust training frameworks .
I really appreciated the lenses and techniques that were shared in the presentation. The discussion about alignment is so important to our work and making sure it is sustainable and I appreciated that the presenter helped us reflect on this.
I can and will keep going because it’s not me or my broken community but systems in place to hinder process for many… and who we are and what we do is enough… Trauma is real…Its not me. It’s the system and as a person with a purpose I can and will make it.
I have a sticky note by my desk with the closing quote: "the times are urgent, we must slow down". I'm using it as a reminder of many things I took from the training, but mostly to slow down and to be aware of how I'm feeling and how those feelings may impact my decisions and work with colleagues and clients.
I will start to practice self care as a essential part of my job .
