"Melanie Rivera is a powerful speaker whose workshops encourage attendees to think deeply about their interpersonal dynamics—at work and beyond—and the role each of us plays in creating a more equitable world. As a guest speaker in FreeWill's webinar series, Melanie led a session for an audience with diverse roles and backgrounds. Many called it the best DEI webinar they’ve attended, sharing how her thoughtful perspective will influence their work and personal lives moving forward."

“Mel's ‘case studies’ or mini scenarios she brings into the trainings are so real and relevant - they really help us unpack how we are working together in a safer way by talking about other people in other companies. Mel is a credible outside leader who is able to help shine a light on challenges that can be harder for our own leadership team to do all the time.”

"Breaker 28 has a robust menu of trainings that can be tweaked and customized with the client in mind. The efficiency of not having to start from scratch but also to have the option to make sure the content fits organization is so helpful (and rare!). Mel is the best trainer that we have come across in the DEI/Culture/HR space. She is so wise, has great examples and content ehat can be difil . che is notchesitant to ugh out behaviors that need to change but does so with care. She models what she is teaching."

"Mel's training are always interactive, relevant, engaging, and meet our organizational objectives."
