Who EATS at your table?
Is the question we use to move beyond the practice of counting “seats” of representation to the process of transforming experiences and outcomes.
“Hilda has such a welcoming and energetic and genuine personality. I think we did a disservice to ourselves by only allowing Hilda to present for only 1 hour. I know that she was trying to incorporate our current stage on culture with her very informative message of inclusiveness, and everyone EATS at the table. I believe there may be value in breaking this down into multiple sessions that perhaps the whole organization can benefit from.”

Alicia Fernandez-Dicks (President of Community Foundation Herkimer & Oneida County)
“Hilda has been a valued partner in helping us review our Lead-Safe Utica work through an equitable lens. Hilda did a great job leading our conversations and took us out of the practitioners' mindset and into our customers' mindset. I would highly recommend working with HMJ Consulting as a small business, nonprofit, or other company working to improve their diversity and equity. We will certainly hire her for other projects in the future."
"Hilda M. Jordan was a great moderator for our diversity dialogue session. As panelists responded to questions, she helped to connect these to our business audience in a way that helps to further our goal of implementing DEI in the workplace. HMJ Consulting is a great resource to help bring equity into the workplace."
