Attendee/Organizer Testimonials

"Fun, grounded, and great messaging for everyone! Asheya was the guest speaker for my company's monthly Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging presentation. She brought stories, facts, examples, and reality to what could be a sensitive subject. Our team members walked away from the session engaged, energetic, and looking for ways to continue to build healthy relationships with peers and customers. I highly recommend Asheya to lead DEI/DIB training, speaking engagements, and advisory roles. She is a wealth of knowledge and knows how to connect with people."

"Led by Asheya Warren, Praxis developed and delivered relevant content for businesses who are in different growth stages, but are strong contributors to the DFW commercial construction market. The course provided both high-level information and a path toward immediate implementation of key best practices. As the program manager, I’ve received a steady stream of positive feedback on Ms. Warren’s training. Additionally, some firms have already updated their marketing processes, refreshed marketing collateral, or scheduled additional consultation with Praxis. This type of result is one of the reasons I look forward to partnering with Praxis in the future."

"I found Asheya's Amplify A/E/C Digital 2023 presentation compelling and subduing. DEI is terribly trendy, but there is truly no way to game the system. BEING (which is hard to quantify! and impossible to bill for!) is at the core of any real change.

Thanks, Asheya, for contributing to AMPLIFY AEC Digital conference...Considering how organizational dimensions influence my intersectionality is new to me."

Amplify AEC Digitial Conference Attendee

"When we found out about Asheya, we knew we needed our group of women- owned businesses to hear her insights on RFP response and production strategies. On paper, Asheya’s credentials are impressive. In person, she exceeds expectations. Within seconds of her beginning the presentation, she captured the audience’s attention and held it throughout. Her masterful blend of knowledge sharing, personal examples, humor, and audience engagement activities made the presentation informative and enjoyable. She even candidly fielded questions from the audience as they arose without losing track of her place in her planned remarks. It’s very clear that Asheya has a wealth of expertise and is right where she needs to be. Our group left with a plethora of practical tips to implement. Very strongly recommend her!"
