“Sondra’s expertise in cultural diversity was extremely helpful in training Patient Service staff and volunteers in how to better serve the ethnic populations of our region. Not only does she have a wealth of information, but her training style enables participants to better understand and share their own cultures and how they relate to others. She is also very much in tune with her audience and can describe situations that relate directly to their day to day work. I would highly recommend Sondra for any group that needs to interact with customers or clients from other cultures.”

"Keeping the attention of over 300 attendees is a difficult task, but, like the pro you obviously are, you made it look easy. On top of that your presentation was exactly what we needed. I am still getting glowing comments from those who were fortunate enough to attend."

“One of the things I liked best about Sondra’s presentation to our physicians and administrators was how she was aware of the diversity of the audience and took special care to address their questions honestly and candidly.

“One of the things that I liked best about Sondra’s professional services was that, despite her extensive travel schedule, she took the time to interview six chief nurse executives in Massachusetts so that she could tailor her presentation to our needs. Her effort paid off in a humorous, practical program that was very well received."

San Gabriel Valley Nursing Consortium
“As President of the San Gabriel Valley Nursing Consortium, I am delighted to recommend Sondra Thiederman as a trainer on the topic of cultural diversity in the health care setting. Sondra addressed our membership on the dual topic of managing a diverse workforce and cross-cultural patient care. Her workshop contained both practical material delivered in a lecture format and audience participation. The program was meaningful and applicable to the participant’s work environments. I would highly recommend Sondra to any organization that is seeking solutions to the problems created by cultural ignorance.”
