What Clients Say About Our Psychological Safety Training Program
Elevate Oregon
We knew we needed to take our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from the realm of the abstract, “of course we believe in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; we live it daily” to real and concrete actions that will allow us to keep our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the heart of our work. [Construct the Present’s] work with our staff, youth, and Board was phenomenal and helped people lean into the work and feel confident in the direction that we are going, seeing how this work, even if uncomfortable, will help Elevate Oregon thrive.
Multnomah County
We hired Construct the Present to help our managers and supervisors explore the concepts of whiteness in supervision and white supremacy culture in the workplace. They listened carefully to our needs, and developed a curriculum that was engaging, thought provoking and informative. Our managers commented that this was one of the best equity trainings they’ve been exposed to as a supervisor, and helped set them at ease with such a heavy topic. I would gladly engage with Construct the Present for future training initiatives!
ARQ
Construct the Present did an amazing job working to ensure that our team arrived at the same baseline understanding of important DEI issues through a mix of head and heart experiences and trainings. Since consulting with CTP, it has become common practice for team members at ARQ to confidently bring up the topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion as it relates to almost any department, issue, or initiative. We recognize that DEI work will be a continuous and essential effort, and we are very happy to now have more knowledge and frameworks for continuing this important work at ARQ. Thank you to the CTP team!

Their skill in navigating difficult topics with clarity and care is unmatched.

As a Black femme-led organization, working with Construct The Present felt deeply aligned—not just in terms of shared values, but in how they actually showed up in the work. That alignment brought a level of authenticity and understanding that made a real difference in how the training was facilitated and how our team engaged.
