"I am delighted to provide a testimonial for Helen, whom I have known for around 9 years. We met when I was Helen's main client at JP Morgan whilst I served as the HR Vice President representative on the cross-business "War for Talent" diversity committee. Our remit was to find innovative ways to influence the diversity agenda across the European offices and my particular segment was learning and development. Helen was a known expert in the field of diversity and organisational development in the US, but it is to her great credit that she managed to translate and sell the concepts to a wholly sceptical and initially unreceptive multi-national audience in the London office. The Leading Diversity 1-day training programme that she delivered over a two year period to in excess of 1500 officers and staff of the bank was the most ambitious and successful training intervention ever introduced in Europe.

Helen's skills as a facilitator are second to none. She is intuitive, fluid, articulate and natural, spotting and heading off potential "hot spots" and providing an environment where people feel safe to express their views and know they will be heard. Her antenna are always up, yet she appears at complete ease with her audience and never radiates anything but calm and control.

But Helen has much more to offer than just stand up training and facilitation. Her OD skills are fabulous and her holistic approach to culture change is practical and realistic yet inspirational. Whatever she does, she takes people with her and makes the journey seem immensely worthwhile.

As a business partner, Helen is an exceedingly reliable and diligent colleague, working seamlessly to ensure that goals are delivered and targets are met. You feel reassured when working with Helen that everything is possible and will be done to the highest standard. I recommend her to you most highly."

"We partnered with Human Facets at the start of our diversity journey. We were initially overwhelmed with the scope of what we wanted to achieve and working with a seasoned diversity professional helped us to develop a robust infrastructure and an impactful strategy. The time invested at this stage of the programme was a significant influence on the success we went on to achieve."

"Helen Turnbull worked with us for an extended period, assisting us in making major culture changes. We shifted our organization from a hierarchical culture to empowered teams and she was a key player in the success of these efforts. Her ability to listen to her clients, respond to their needs, think on her feet and provide each group with an outstanding experience is unprecedented. She is without question one of the most gifted and talented consultants I have ever had the privilege of working with."

"Dr. Helen Turnbull recently was voted one of two faculty members within our university community of over 26,000 students as the professor students would most like to hear speak about where she finds meaning and purpose in life in the NSU Last Lecture Series.

Dr. Turnbull is clearly knowledgeable, organized and engaging. Her presentation provided opportunities for all learning styles to connect and combined important lessons, illuminating her depth of experience in a very down-to-earth, conversational style that captured the audience's attention. Afterwards, students and staff stayed in the lecture hall waiting to ask questions in an attempt to glean additional insights from her. After the presentation, many asked if it was possible to get a copy of her speech or Powerpoint presentation. One student remarked that there was so much good information, he couldn't capture it in one sitting.

My first experience working with Dr. Turnbull was when she served as a presenter for the 2007 Diversity Summit. Her demeanor, insights, and presentation style were impressive then and it was an honor to have the opportunity to hear her speak again this year in the Last Lecture Series."
