Our CMHA Sask. Division Management Team have had the privilege of working with Angeline on examining our Intercultural Competence, identify both gaps and areas of strength. We found Angeline to be very knowledgeable and able to guide us through a process that will strengthen our work going forward. I am very pleased to recommend Angeline to anyone wanting to enter into this process. She is very professional, thorough and communicates well. She was a pleasure to work with.

It was a journey, one that I was not sure I was ready to take or where it would take me. I did not realize the benefits of said journey until traveling it the second time.

Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) assessments were offered to our unit and facilitated by Angeline during the winter of 2020. Angeline led a group of 30 persons through the theory, assessment, evaluation, coached and guided several of us through an independent improvement plan. It was hard work and worthwhile work. Angeline was well organized, well versed, modelled intercultural competence well throughout our discussions and she was open to having further discussions to ensure understanding.

It was not until I had the opportunity to take the IDI assessment a few years later, saw the improvement in the results and made the linkages to the work that I was doing intentionally and unintentionally that I was able to understand Angeline’s full impact to what she gave to our unit and more importantly – me.
