Working with Ridley Consulting Group to develop the JCC’s organizational Covenant was an absolute pleasure. Beth made strong connections with our entire team in practicing her expertise and demonstrating thoughtful leadership. Her ability to lead and extract key takeaways from complex conversations was exceptional, and her ability to treat all participants with dignity and respect lead to a fulfilling experience. Our agency is better for this process, stronger for Beth’s contributions, andproud to now have a guiding document for the work we do throughout the community and those we serve.

We started our belonging journey with a vision to create a greater sense of belonging for our employee owners. Beth Ridley helped us find a balanced approach aligning to our core values and corporate culture. She did a wonderful job helping us to be curious and seek to understand other viewpoints. She set us up for success to strengthen our inclusion competencies throughout our organization. We are continuing our journey through an employee-led committee creating a stronger sense of belonging across all diversities. We will continue to seek out Beth’s guidance as we continue to grow as a company. Beth’s practical approach, built on an understanding of our firm and meeting us where we were at the time, was a key to our success.

When our company decided to make a new and sustained commitment to broadening our perspectives and embracing belonging, we looked around the country for the best partner to guide us in this journey. We found her in Beth Ridley. Beth and her team brings a remarkable and broad set of skills and talents—engaging, smart and totally committed to their clients and this work. I’m especially impressed in their ability to connect the work of fostering a more inclusive, innovative and inspiring workplace culture to improved business outcomes and helping our company attract and retain the best in our field.

Charles PruittManaging Director, AB Data Direct

I wanted to adjust my personal priorities by intentionally expanding the diversity of thought and perspective in the circles that influence me. From there, I needed help on serving our company with the same! Beth Ridley was the catalyst and wise instructor to me and for my leadership team.

Jonathan ReynoldsCEO Titus Talent Solutions

Beth helped us start our belonging journey by giving us a common starting point, proven communication tactics, and hands-on practice aligning inclusion strategies with our organizational mission. I loved her framework of teaching these principles as a leadership competency, and her thoughtfulness, good humor, and great facilitation skills. Creating culture change is hard work, but I have seen my staff actively choose to re-examine old assumptions with a new lens.

Layla ZaidaneExecutive Director & COO Millennial Action Project

It was a pleasure to work with Beth Ridley as a speaker for our employee event. She listened to our needs and about our culture so she could make a strong connection.

Beth delivered a keynote at the Management Summit that we host each year for our business partners. Beth’s frameworks and presentation style makes the idea of creating a culture of belonging one that’s easy to adopt by providing actionable suggestions that can be implemented immediately. We provided all attendees with a copy of the 50 Everyday Acts of Inclusion flipbook, and everyone loved it! Such a handy resource for simple ways to be more inclusive in our everyday lives. Beth is awesome and we’ll definitely hire her again!

Tosha ClayDirector, Physicians Realty Trust

Beth Ridley was absolutely incredible in delivering the best leadership session I have encountered. Her openness, honesty, and intentionality around the topic made it easy to engage and learn. Beth made sure the focus was on her audience, as she took time to interact and respond to any questions or thoughts brought forward. I am excited that we get to listen to her again soon!
