Consulting service provided:  Keynote address for Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month event

"Naomi was our keynote speaker at our Asian & Pacific Islander month in May 2024, speaking to this year’s theme, Advancing Leaders Through Innovation. Naomi shared her life journey with us, touching upon the unspoken, but strongly relatable growing pains, social, community, and cultural pressures, and internal challenges about self-identity and composure.

Naomi brought light to the fruition of her current success as attributable to the life course challenges that prompted her - and us - to remember the merits of resolve, adaptability, and continuous learning to create the space and environment one wants to flourish within. Her keynote brought together an entire community to propagate her uplifting message and to continue championing our achievements." 

Consulting service provided:  Program Management Coaching & Advisory for her DEI Program Manager

"After following Naomi Uy’s work for some time in the program, change management, and her contributions to the DEI field, I knew that her expertise and coaching would take the capabilities of my team from good to great.  As a small team of two with the accountability of leading an entire organization through the launch of the DEI journey, I knew that I needed assistance with skill development for my program manager who was new to the role and needed to ramp up and scale their efforts quickly.  From the discovery call where Naomi took the time to understand our needs and developed a customized approach to the closing of our engagement, her guidance and impact have been invaluable.   Naomi provides actionable insights, practical tools, and techniques to help deliver sustainable and scalable programs and the results are immediate.   Her time coaching my program manager has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend that people leaders who want to develop high-performing teams, partner with Naomi to achieve remarkable results."

 "Naomi's coaching program exceeded my expectations by far. During our sessions, Naomi encouraged me to speak about any knowledge gaps and stand in them without shame or embarrassment. I was never made to feel as if I should be further along in my knowledge or that I was further behind my colleagues. Naomi was incredibly patient and understanding, willing to share her vulnerabilities and walk me through what my goals were as a professional and leader. Many tools and courses could teach any team member about project management, but a program management coaching program is a personalized approach that creates a safe learning environment to make mistakes and ask questions. 

A key benefit of this program was finding confidence in my voice, my decisions, and the work that I produce. This coaching program left me with not only the practical skills needed to be a Program Manager but also the confidence I need to be a successful leader and change-maker within my organization. I have been commended on my work since starting the coaching program and it’s clear that from the first sessions, there was a direct impact on the way I work individually and collaboratively."

Naomi gave a great and highly engaging seminar to our group which was very well received. Not only did the subject matter and its excellent delivery enhance our internal DEI program but also more generally contributed to a conversation about how we might continue to optimize the organization and management of our company. We would whole heartedly recommend Naomi and it was a pleasure working with her."

"Naomi’s insights and approach to the (webinar) topic were truly outstanding and left a lasting impression on me and my colleagues. The talk was not only engaging and thought-provoking, but also very informative. What I appreciated most about Naomi, was her ability to create a safe space for discussing a topic that can often be uncomfortable or sensitive. She was able to strike a balance between acknowledging the challenges that women face in the workplace, while also providing actionable steps that individuals and organizations can take to create a more equitable and inclusive environment. Overall, I highly recommend Naomi to any organization looking to gain a deeper understanding to issues like this, and to learn practical strategies for addressing it. Naomi’s talk was not only informative, but also inspiring and empowering, and I left feeling motivated to take action in my own workplace."
