Testimonials

“Sarika gave a very energizing and informative presentation to our National Association of Women in Construction Midwest Region conference as well as at our chapter meeting. You could tell she really took the time to tailor her presentations to our industry. Her interactive format spurred great thought-provoking discussion long after the conference and meeting were both over! Sarika is passionate about diversity, inclusion and engagement and that is obvious by the level of expertise and enthusiasm she brings to every presentation. I highly recommend having Sarika speak at your next conference as she is knowledgeable, refreshing and engaging!”

Darby Winger, President, Chapter 160 Midwest Region

“Sarika is a very engaging speaker, with much knowledge about Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. The Greater La Crosse area, businesses and organizations really enjoyed her energy and incredible ability in bringing the audience together, and processing a true change in culture, towards a more inclusive community. We would have loved having extra time to learn more from her expertise.”

“I had the privilege of participating in a workshop called Diversity & Inclusion facilitated by Sarika Bhakta. This was a professional development opportunity offered by the college where I work. Sarika captured the rooms attention immediately through a heart-wrenching real-life story, and then proceeded to weave that story throughout the day. She opened our eyes to seeing diversity not just in the expected qualifiers i.e. ethnicity, religion, income, etc. Sarika taught the class to truly open your eyes and hearts to appreciate the many differences in each of us. She brought excitement to the idea of inclusion and everything we could gain by embracing each other’s ideas, perspectives and experiences. Sarika teaches with passion. Sarika has a gift for listening and helping others find the answers. Sarika is a leader by nature, and she has the desire and skills to lead all of us to a greater level of understanding, inclusion, trust and respect.”
