Testimonials
"I've worked with Tim for three years and have watched as his curriculum on Strategic HR has dramatically evolved in response to changes in the culture-at-large as well as his own conscientious and rigorous process of deep learning. Through ongoing experimentation and exploration in the classroom and at the company he co-leads, Tim has iterated a process for helping organizations on an anti-racism, anti-oppression journey. His capacity to engage leaders in this complex and difficult work stems not only from his depth of knowledge and experience; among many positive qualities, Tim also brings kindness, openness, enthusiasm, and humor to everything he does."
— Diane Ragsdale, Director of Master of Arts in Creative Leadership, Minneapolis College of Art & Design, & Independent Consultant
“The Work Shouldn't Suck team distinguished themselves beyond all expectations. Their unwavering commitment to centering anti-racism, their kindness and care and their patience with us as we navigated a new process and workflow were exemplary. Not only did they help us find an extraordinary candidate but they also helped define new recruiting methods for Opera Philadelphia.”
— David Devan, General Director & President, Opera Philadelphia
"Tim cares. His desire, commitment, and rigor in designing and sustaining working environments where all staff is seen, valued and heard are real. He identifies his gaps and privileges as a cis-gendered white male — without the expectation of applause — to cultivate environments where the mental, physical, and emotional labor of illuminating inequities within organizations are not disproportionately burdened by those most oppressed. These qualities are required in organizational change work."
— Lisa Yancey, Founder, Yancey Consulting; Co-Founder, The We’s Match; Co-Founder, SorsaMED
