HUMiN has been an important part of our culture development as a company, for over three years. They bring a level of expertise and a set of tools & resources that has helped us learn, discuss and enhance inclusion at Impinj. I have personally learned a great deal that has improved my leadership skills, level of understanding, and ability to really hear from a more diverse set of people.
One of the things that I found unique about their approach was their focus on raising the floor and loosening the ceiling, simultaneously. They worked with aspiring women in our company who I saw blossom into more confident & strategic leaders. They worked with execs and managers to open our eyes to some of the systemic bias that exists. One of the results of our collaboration has been our ability to attract & hire more female talent to our organization, which has been a difficult problem for us.
Matt Barlow
Corporate Vice President, Marketing Microsoft
I’ve worked with HUMiN for over a decade and credit them with helping to shape my leadership style, the culture of my team, and the personal growth of each of the individuals that comprise it. They are so much more than coaches, gurus and talent developers. They are a vital part of my leadership team.

Juno Therapeutics
Our goal is to make Juno a destination place for women — a place where they can develop their careers and thrive. We know that getting the best women to join our company will prove to be a huge competitive advantage and help us cure cancer faster. That is why we have hired HUMiN, for three years running.
Too often there are barriers, especially related to women, that get in the way of women contributing their best work. Those barriers are often hard to see, even in places like Juno that care about inclusion and diversity.
HUMiN has helped us gain insight in important areas and develop real momentum with our goals around inclusion, learning and empowering women. They are smart, authentic, inspiring, and willing to give us the tough & honest feedback that enables us to get better.
Redwood Stephens
CEO
Synapse
HUMiN worked with Synapse to identify areas for improvement and provided guidance on strengthening our inclusive culture. During a company-wide workshop, HUMiN shared research-backed tips and best practices which raised awareness a cross our company. HUMiN also conducted an inclusion survey that was eye opening for our leadership team. The results were differentiated by age, gender, race, and job function, allowing us to identify areas of focus. Our culture was strong before, but insights from HUMiN galvanized our action plan.

I have been working with Mitch since she was recommended to me nearly 6 years ago. During this time we have collaborated on off-sites, all-hands meetings, leadership training sessions, and coaching. Her open personality, high energy, and deep understanding of learning models & interpersonal dynamics have helped me turn fledgling organizations into focused, high productivity teams. Not only have I seen my teams gain clarity around mission, vision & goals, but during last year’s internal employee poll, my group received the highest employee satisfaction ratings of any large engineering team. Mitch’s work within my group was certainly a key factor in that success. I recommend her without hesitation.
Sherri Brouwer
Digital Strategy Director, Avanade Inc
The coaching and consulting I received has helped me to be strategic and visionary with shaping and fine tuning my organizational goals, guiding principles and execution plans right down to managing and milking the most of meeting times. I have completely turned my Management feedback scores around. My career and organization have made significant gains as a result of this investment.
“Leaders in our group have better rapport now and can constructively challenge one another.”
“I learned to think strategically about my employees’ careers and my own growth.”
“We now have more diverse interviewing and hiring practices.”

I really appreciate the opportunity to work with you. Even after just a couple sessions, I think the work that we’re doing together is already benefiting both the organization and me personally. You are obviously a skilled professional and a caring human being - it’s a very inspiring combo!

We are, thankfully, in the midst of a powerful movement for inclusion & diversity. Mitch Shepard and the HUMiN team are on the front lines bringing thoughtful and high impact value to leaders and organizations. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mitch as an executive coach and WiRL/HUMiN as a strategic partner in our inclusion & diversity efforts at Binc. The growth and development I’ve personally gained from this relationship is immeasurable and the organizational results speak for themselves!

One of the best investments my company has made for my leadership development has been in the form of an external coach. I learned more about myself and have been able to use specific processes and tools to address things like executive presence and maturity, managing up and across org boundaries, and being resilient in leading my organization. I strongly recommend having an executive coach to anyone looking to move to the next level of leadership.

This was the best investment my company has ever made in my professional development. It was worth every penny paid.

I wanted to thank you so much for joining us at the Global Clinical Affairs meeting in Huntington Beach this past week. You were awesome – as always!! I have said this before, but will say it again & again.... you TRULY have a gift for inspiring & connecting with others, helping them see what perhaps they can’t see right away. You help clear away that “fog” that we sometimes all run into, and lead us down the path to finding our true purpose & passion.

Chief Security Officer

If you’re going to make good decisions as a leader, you have to get all viewpoints. You can’t make decisions in a vacuum. Working with Mitch and her team has impacted how I look at diversity and equity, and a big part of our success has come from working with her team.

Program Participant
This was a FANTASTIC program! Thank you for allowing me to participate. I ran into one of the participants in the cafeteria this afternoon and she said it was one of the best program she’s ever participated in – very helpful on both the business and personal front and she said she was so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate. Kudos to you both!

"Why don't you speak up? Bark a little more?' says my CEO. It's because I'm listening. I'm not an extrovert. It's not black and white, there's a range. That's the way I communicate and it's not a fault.
