The Breaking down Enrollment class provides great discussions on Unconscious Bias, Micromessaging Personalization and Relevance. Dr. Angela nails the important aspects of these topics. Then more useful information is provided in the second session that deepens teacher understanding. Topics on Personalization, Relevance, Facilitation and Motivation helped provide ideas for teachers to deal with retention barriers.

I’ve had the opportunity to hear Dr. Trego present at two different events and I appreciated the different insights she shared as well as the team activity. She brought awareness of unconscious bias and techniques to remove them in an engaging and insightful way. She also shared her unique experiences being the sole female on many engineering teams and the strategies she used to be successful which was helpful.

Angela was motivational, engaging and provided useful skills that I could immediately use to help my business.
Angela easily read the energy of room, and even though the room was full of people, when she spoke I felt like she was speaking directly to me. She is captivating, relatable, and funny. I was lucky enough to get to spend time with her after her keynote and I have to say, Angela is the real deal.
I will be inviting her to speak at my next engagement.

This training really opened up my mind to the influence I have as a school counselor regarding the paths students choose to take educationally and occupationally. I learned the positive power of encouragement for minorities. My perspective was broadened with STEM and its influence. The training was engaging and I had so many “ah ha” moments. It really got me thinking about my occupation and every day ways I problem-solve with students
