“Our division was looking for a trainer to help facilitate a productive workshop on race, power, and privilege and Daniel was a great fit for our needs. He helped lead a discussion that was safe and inclusive while still challenging our team to examine how personal experiences can impact our work. He was a thoughtful and collaborative facilitator.”

“Daniel and Claudie did a great job approaching difficult subject matter with sensitivity and empathy. The workshop they facilitated was informative and insightful. Though we are all immersed in often unacknowledged or unaddressed issues pertaining to race, sexual orientation and gender identity in our very diverse society, I have rarely found opportunity for the kind of discussion that leads to increased awareness, understanding and change. Claudie and Daniel created this space resulting in a most useful, open, direct discussion, an experience we’ll carry with us going forward.”

“Our school has used the services of Daniel Lim over the past two years. Daniel is a kind, intelligent and patient facilitator. He was impeccable at getting people to open up and reveal personal perceptions to the group. I have sat through multiple workshops presented by Daniel and I am always amazed at the different directions that a conversation can go among different groups of people. I look forward to working with him again.”

“The Indie Theater Fund was thrilled to partner with Daniel Lim Consulting to offer our participants Equity and Inclusion Training. Daniel conducted two workshops, Working with Difference and Systems Thinking for Social Change. Both workshops were thorough, thought-provoking and offered the attendees opportunities to explore identity and systems individually and as a group. Daniel created an open environment for difficult discussions which challenged us to go deep with one another in the room.

Daniel is a skilled facilitator. He positioned himself simultaneously as the leader of our group and as a participant. He shared personal experience in order to inspire the group to open and then also gracefully allowed the discussion between participants to go where it needed for us to get the most out of our time together. He was able to guide the conversation, maintain a strict schedule and redirect when necessary. The Indie Theater Fund would be thrilled to work with Daniel again.”

“We’re a grassroots-y, tiny non-profit with big dreams of putting together a national LGBTQ conference for folks of Korean descent in six months. We had been facilitating our work sessions throughout the year but we just weren’t seeing any major progress. To help inspire, we coordinated an all-day work retreat and hired Daniel to facilitate our innovation sessions. Daniel is professional and approachable. He empathized with our hopes and fears. He was engaging and kept us on track. By the end of a long day, we developed a long-range project plan and everyone understood what was expected of them. We accomplished more with his help than nearly a year’s worth of meetings. Thank you, Daniel. You’re amazing!”

“Our graduate programs prepare students to go out into the world and work with communities to create plans and proposals that build toward sustainability and equity. Daniel’s workshop helped our faculty acquire a deeper understanding of the principles of social justice and then connect that understanding to teaching methods. We came away from the workshop feeling like we knew more about how oppression operates and how to tackle it head on in our classrooms, our projects, and in our profession. Daniel was extremely well-prepared, professional, thorough, and thoughtful. We plan on working with him on a ‘Teaching for Social Justice 2’ workshop.”
