Don is an expert, but also relatable and quickly established rapport with students, faculty, and senior administration. Our Black Student Association enjoyed working with him so much that they and invited him back to keynote another event the following year. I’d highly recommend Dr. Don C. Sawyer III for speaking and consulting engagements. We look forward to having him back again soon!”

“One of our DEI initiatives at Candid was to curate a speaker series with the aim of creating the space for open and honest discussion around these topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We felt one important step for creating a more diverse and equitable workplace was to create a forum where everyone at our company felt safe to share, learn, and engage with these topics.
We wanted a facilitator that had both the knowledge and experience required to educate our team at Candid. But we also wanted a facilitator that had both the comfort with, and mastery of, these difficult topics that’s required to be able to hold space for people of all backgrounds and levels of understanding.”

“It was our privilege to have Dr. Donald Sawyer speak to the young men at the Building Men Program. His knowledge about Diversity and Inclusion was amazing and dynamic. He was very engaging, inspiring, and answered all the questions of the participants during the session. Don used many personal stories to help the young men relate, sharing the information in real life situations. He gave us next steps to further our own growth and followed up after the presentation. It was a pleasure to have him speak and inspire our young men.”
