PRIDE CHEERLEADING ASSOCIATION, USA
“Our diverse and spirited US-based organization, the Pride Cheerleading Association (PCA), invited Sonali D’silva to present at our very first online conference on the topic of IGNITE with Inclusion, and this was the best decision we could have made for our inaugural event! With no prior knowledge of our organization, and no obvious intersections with our people and purpose, Sonali made an instant, soulful connection with our leadership and demonstrated a deep understanding of our cause. A consummate professional, Sonali counseled us to distill our specific needs and select appropriate presentation styles, topics, and materials tailored to our audience. But Sonali went above and beyond the professional call of duty, giving us more than just a great product. It truly felt like she had given us a piece of her heart. Her empathy and generosity are what I will remember most, placing our needs at the center of the negotiations. Her presentation content was relevant and impactful, and her advice was genuine and spot-on. Our leaders and volunteers continue to rave about the session! We could not have asked for anything more! We will keep in touch with Sonali D’silva and strongly recommend her to our partners around the world!”
