Dr. Taylor was extremely engaging and responsive to our organization's needs throughout the entire process, from booking to workshop. She and her team kept in touch with me on the progress of the workshop development, and checked in frequently along the way to ensure that the presentation materials being developed adequately met my organization's needs. My team thoroughly benefited from the stress management and burnout prevention presentation. Through interactive discussions with my team, she was able to pick up on insights about how burnout shows up in our organizational operations and culture. We would love to book with Dr. Taylor again.
Thank you so much for facilitating this session, Dr. Taylor! This was much-needed and appreciated by the WE2 Group. You definitely gave me a reality check, lol! Key takeaways: it's ok to say “NO,” set boundaries, and look at self-care on a deeper level. I look forward to attending more of your workshops and sessions.
It was helpful hearing the different explanations of the DISC domains and their characteristics. I learned that my non-dominant characteristics can be utilized and developed in my leadership. Just super appreciative of Dr. Taylor's time and energy in facilitating this workshop!
It was helpful to learn about the application to Black women and the workplace, as well as to better understand the DISC assessment, especially having the opportunity for those I work closely with to share their results alongside me. Amazing Dr. Taylor!
What an incredible eye-opening gathering! Thanks for the empowerment and self-reflection, Dr. Taylor!
Dr. Taylor is the reason I received my new position at my target university. I was exhausted trying to find a new job on my own for six years to re-enter in a full-time role.

Not only did the expertise provided help me re-enter the higher education field full-time, but she and her team also motivated me to keep trying and have a positive outlook during the job search. I would highly recommend the company. I am so grateful that I had a chance to work with WORxK Solutions and Dr. Taylor.
