Our organization has engaged her through several ...engagements and each one has been better than the one before, that is something!

I reached out to Dr. Laura McGuire in a desperate attempt for some validation and guidance, as a recent victim of civil rights violations. Dr. McGuire was one of the few who listened when I was dismissed by everyone else. As a victim, I needed to be heard and the heartfelt response I received back kept my fight...alive. I cannot fully express my appreciation for the generous time and gracious response I received from an unsolicited message. Dr. McGuire is obviously deeply committed to equality and truly makes a positive difference in this world. Thank you, Dr. McGuire for making such an impact.

Dr. McGuire, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop "Queering Advocacy." As a prevention educator and women’s studies graduate, these are topics that are dear to my heart. I loved your presentation - your style, your content, and your openness to helping a field that is very female and heterosexually focused become inclusive to the range of sexual violence survivors who need our services. Thank you for your research and your advocacy.

We had Dr. McGuire lead trainings on TIC for our entire staff.
It was only a huge success for our outward facing attorneys, but for our in office communication style, our marketing department, our case management staff, and our director level leadership. I cannot recommend having your team trauma informed enough... especially if you work with populations who are very very likely to have experienced significant trauma.

Dr. McGuire was a consummate professional and more. While Diversity & Inclusion (D & I) is a primary topis of training these days, Dr. McGuire trulu EDUCATED our forum on how to effectively address ressistance to diversity initiatives and her voice become both allies and conscious adversaries. I learned more from her in her 20-minute address than I had in many years of diversity work. I heartily recommended her as an expert in all aspects of D & I.
