“Along with colleagues at Yale, I participated in her educational training series Communication that Transforms. Dr. Clairborne has a phenomenal teaching style that embraced each individual regardless of their previous learning/comfort with the subject matter. After participating in hundreds of training sessions, I was particularly impressed with her ability to merge theoretical foundations with practical applications. I also loved how each class in the series built on the previous class without
repeating and replaying information. I have already used some of the diagnostic tools Dr. Clairborne taught us to help me identify better communication approaches and tactics. I highly recommend Dr.
Clairborne as an educator and the curriculum she has developed is incredibly impactful.”

“Dr. Maiysha presented the perfect Professional Development for our educators at Propel. We spent the day on a journey of experiential learning. By learning how our brain works it gave great clarity on how we communicate with each other, our scholars and our families. The presentation was structured perfectly to first set the stage and then dive into the work. Our staff had positive responses to the session. We look forward to having Dr. Maiysha back.”

I had seen Dr. Clairborne speak about psychological safety and trauma-informed communication at a conference. I found her to be a really engaging presenter and admired the way she addressed the topic. I reached out and ended up hiring her to come in and speak to my employee resource group leaders about communication and cultivating a culture of trust. The participants loved the content she covered as well as the interactive activities she had structured into her workshop for us. She has been a pleasure to work with on the front end – our planning sessions have generated really great ideas on content and I would be happy to recommend her.
