What Leaders are Saying
About CO∙NEXT∙ION
“It was clear when I first met Ron that he had the professional background to help me grow as a leader. However, it’s Ron’s personal background that really enabled us to connect. His understanding of what life is like as a Black man & never acting like a “White savior” is what I appreciate most. Having Ron as a coach & trusted advisor has made a huge impact for me on my journey. Being able to have extremely frank conversations & ask questions (without fear of judgment) & receive valuable insight & honest constructive feedback in return has helped me & my organization take our work to the next level & has propelled me to new heights as a leader. Many thanks, Ron!”

I have known Ron for over 15 years & have witnessed his commitment to diversity through his personal relationships & his community engagements. He is great at creating safe spaces that foster healthy debate & does not shy away from engaging in often challenging conversations that increase awareness & representation of diverse groups & perspectives. Ron has supported & served as a mentor to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds & helped them grow their skills & confidence. He would be an asset to any DEI-B initiative & would help advance a more diverse, equitable & inclusive organization.”
