“Simply Good Form provided their Beyond the Binary workshop to our entire staff group and was regarded as the best professional development session staff have ever had. The session truly opened our eyes to unconscious bias and gave us new vocabulary and tools to take away. Some aspects of the workshop was new territory for us but Cynthia and her team were so warm and welcoming and made the content extremely accessible. We look forward to doing more work with SGF!”
