“Dr. Gottlieb is one of the NAME conference’s most dynamic presenters. If her track record remains the same, it will be a sold-out event.”

- National Association for Multicultural Education | 10th annual conference brochure

UnityWorks founder, Dr. Randie Gottlieb, gave a very well-received presentation on “Recognizing Oneness: Educating Teachers about the Unity of Humankind,” at the recent International Social and Economic Development Conference in Orlando, Florida.  The focus of the presentation was on leading teachers from the widespread view of separate races, from entrenched prejudices passed down from previous generations, from prevailing notions of us and them, to the recognition that we are one human race. The conference was attended by 650 development practitioners from countries throughout North and South America and Europe.

“Dr. Gottlieb’s presentation at our conference fit us like a professionally tailored suit. The “Finding the Center” conference is a unique event in which we invite the general public, elected leaders, university faculty and students from all ages. It is a rare gift to be able to speak effectively to such a naturally diverse group and to be able to hold their interest. Dr. Gottlieb made it seem like the most natural thing in the world. She had all of our attendees thinking AND smiling and leaving her presentations inspired about our potential together in a common future. Our conference registrant feedback confirms this and we would enthusiastically recommend her as one of our most professional, effective and inspirational speakers.”

- Francisco D. Salinas, Director | Student Support Services, Washington State University
