    “Dustin's presence as a speaker at our DEI Lunch and Learn event at NBC10 Boston was genuinely exceptional. We put this event on through our MyAbilities employee resource group. Speaking about his journey of being deaf, he brought a unique perspective, allowing us all to gain valuable insights. Working with Dustin was an absolute pleasure. He proved to be an exceptional and engaging speaker and a wonderful person to collaborate with. He was always available and approachable, making the planning and execution of the event seamless.

    His ability to connect with people deeply was evident as he resonated with some of our employees who found the courage to openly share their experiences with hearing loss for the first time. I would eagerly choose to work with Dustin again for any future events. His contributions were invaluable in promoting inclusivity and diversity, making a lasting impact on our team!”

    Welcome Back to the Office Event

    “So incredibly inspiring. I was born profoundly deaf and finally seeing REPRESENTATION meant everything to me. Dustin was an incredible speaker and it was amazing to hear about all of his personal experiences. I would recommend his sessions to everyone. There is still so much more work to be done in regards to disability representation, so any chance there is to spread the word and educate others, the better!”

    “Dustin is an incredible speaker who leads with passion and brings an energy that fills up a room. I was touched by his experiences and we had multiple people tearing up because of how moved they were and how much they related to his message.”

    The Importance of Communication and accessibility

    “I was on the Social Justice call yesterday, and I just had to write to tell you how dynamic you are, and that I watched your talk twice! 😊

    I am so grateful for this company, for finding people like you who are courageous and willing to coach us on very important issues like mindfulness and communication. You taught us so much from your talk, including what is available to both the DHH community, and us as people who can help with the solutions, and perhaps make your life less challenging.

    Your humor is absolutely infectious, and I love your story about your role-model grandfather, which really resonated with me. Thank you for giving us so much information about access also! Truly a vault of amazing resources. I’ll be following you, and hope you feel how much support you must be receiving from everyone you touch on your journey.

    Every blessing to you, Dustin!”

    “I just wanted to express our most heartfelt thanks to you, for your amazing coaching and leadership this fall. This team had heart, and it started with the coaching.

    Time and time again, all the parents at the sidelines remarked to each other how much their son loved the Wednesday night team practices. My son started at a new school, had to adjust to middle school academically and socially, has had a ton of homework and gets migraines periodically - but nothing could keep him from going to the team practices.

    Thank you for your time & effort in coaching, your upbeat attitude and encouragement, and the overall tremendous impact you have made on these boys!”
