What People Are Saying About Lambers

Lambers was excellent. I thought he was very engaging, real, and helpful in offering down to earth strategies and perspectives on diversity. Thank you!!!”

Joan T., MA, LMFT

Lambers creates a bridge for those whoe are new to grappling with the often difficult and emotionally-provactive concepts of diversity. Students and professors alike can learn from his expertise and unassuming presentation style. Lambers is an engaging and high energy speaker who gives the “medicine” with a “spoonful of sugar.” His charismatic style keeps everyone’s attention and challenges both those who are just wrestling with diversity issues for the first time, as well as those who are knowledgeable in the concepts. I get him on my schedule whenever I can to teach my students!”

I highly recommend Lambers Fisher as a speaker on the topic of multicultural awareness and diversity. As Executive Director I have coordinated these live in-person as well as webinar trainings with Lambers for our association, and I have appreciated his timely communication and collaborative nature. He is a gifted speaker who is skillful at presenting what can be a sensitive topic in a way that keeps all attendees engaged and open to learning.”

Lambers is extremely knowledgeable both as a result of his personal experiences as well as his professional training and experience as a therapist. I found Lambers to be very engaging and effective in helping our mostly white students to understand and wrestle with the realities of ongoing racism and white privilege without being triggered or shut down by feeling blamed or guilted. Lambers’ presentation style was very warm and personal, and the training was
fast-paced yet clear and thorough in its content. Lambers engaged our students’ questions and comments extremely well, taking time to understand and address their questions in depth. I would highly recommend Lambers’ training to anyone interested in learning more about and becoming more skilled in multicultural awareness and reconciliation!”

I attended Lambers’ one-day seminar on Multicultural Awareness and Diversity to become more multiculturally competent in my classroom where I teach graduate students training to be licensed counselors in schools and agencies. I got so much out of Lambers’ seminar that I invited him to do a workshop with our university. The students loved him and learned a lot of from his non-judgemental, informative, sometimes humorous and all times engaging style of instruction. I would recommend Lambers to any group of students, mental health workers, church members or community leaders who wants to learn about tolerence, social justice, multicultural competency and humanity. He is unique in his presentation style and helps his audience deal with difficult emotions and experiences with acceptance and comforting words. He is amazing!”

Lambers’ training helped me to understand the privilege that I, being a White woman, experience on a daily basis. It helped me to have a better understanding of what minorities might experience and how to respond it to it if comes up in my work with them. I really liked the questionnaire Lambers offered an will bring that into my practice. It also made me think of the experiences I have had, being a Jewish White woman, where my religion can’t be seen, but it can be now and in the future. Lambers has a lot of good knowledge and is not afraid to share it. He gives good examples to help you understand and he makes you think (he made me think). I learned a lot!”

I just completed the Diversity Made Simple Masterclass and I am so grateful for the teaching provided. I especially appreciated the emphasis toward intention, continuous learning, and repairing relationships. Lambers packed a lot of important information into this brief training and helped me to broaden my view of culture and diversity. He approached this topic with wisdom and humility. I would definitely recommend Lambers as a speaker.”

Lambers’ zoom seminar was ALIVE from beginning to end. Lambers laid a foundation that stood up til the very last sentence. He spoke from lived experience. Instead of regurgitating knowledge from books, he pulled information from sometimes humorous perspectives in his life, whilst bringing home very profound truths. Lambers’ seminar was filled with life changing “pointers” that help guide the way without condemning the one trying. He consistently reminded us to look within and ask very deep questions. I was left with many things to contemplate and new eyes to see life differently. I am eternally grateful.”

Lambers normalized the tension around cultural competence conversations, inviting us to participate in the dialogue even when, or especially when, they are uncomfortable. Lambers helped me realize that I didn’t have to know everything about everybody to have a positive impact on somebody, giving incredible permission for us all to engage in the training wherever we were at and start to grow from there. Lambers’ focus on our own opportunities for growth and self-reflection, rather than stats and theory, made this one of most engaging trainings on the subject of multicultural competence that I have ever attended.”

I loved Lambers’ Diversity Made Simple seminar. I loved how empowering and can-do it was. I loved how he explained so many concepts and was so normalizing, especially giving so many relatable examples around religion, socioeconomic status, and privilege. It was so helpful and made me feel as though I CAN do this work. Thank you so much for this much-needed presentation and your wonderfully relational approach to it.”

The most beneficial aspect of Lambers’ training was the explanations and examples he gave throughout his presentation of diversity. Lambers was clear and I was able to understand and follow his training on this very meaningful topic. I would absolutely recommend Lambers’ training to anyone.”

Lambers provided one of the finest trainings I have ever heard, incorporating our cultural values, with deep and practical application for our staff, volunteers and even our board. I have been and continue to be a fan of Lambers’ reconciliation and peacemaking efforts.”

I would absolutely recommend Lambers as a speaker because he is engaging, energetic, and relatable.”

Lambers broke down how privilege shows up (as it sure has sounded convoluted when listening to media or talking to others), broadening my understanding of how to talk to those of diverse cultures.
I really appreciated the message that everyone, regardless of skin color, needs greater cultural awareness and understanding about diversity.”

I was immediately impressed with Lambers’ depth and breadth of knowledge and experience in this realm. More importantly, I found his approach to the topic to be nonjudgmental, unifying, and refreshingly encouraging of all people to engage in productive dialogue and learn from each other. The material was clearly delivered and relevant, his presentation style was engaging and thought provoking, information and concepts that were immediately useful in clinical practice and stimulated a desire to have ongoing conversations on what can be a very challenging topic. Lambers was the best speaker on multicultural issues I have ever seen in my career! I would highly and confidently recommend him for anyone striving to advance their cultural awareness, knowledge, skills and abilities. Lambers is simply a very dynamic, relevant, and empowering speaker!”

Lamber’s work deserves to be a standard in education for helping professionals. The book’s research summaries make nuanced concepts clear, and the personal reflection questions provided make controversial issues humane. With the use of frameworks and a wide array of case vignettes, Lambers cultivates a commitment to diversity education in clinical practice that is integral to professional competence. No reader is left feeling this work is for ‘someone else’, and each one will be a better professional (and human) for having read it.

In this work, Lambers brilliantly weaves through complex topics such as race relations, culture, social justice, and critical elements of developing trusting therapeutic relationships with diverse groups of clients. More importantly, perhaps, he offers the reader refreshingly optimistic, encouraging, and easily accessible insights and guidance regarding how to navigate such complexities in a respectful, thoughtful, humanistic, and uplifting way that validates all life stories and experiences.”

Lambers presented on a sensitive and challenging topic in a way that was approachable, compassionate, and practical. He was engaging and the time flew by. Best of all, he provided concrete skills to help therapists work more effectively and in a multiculturally competent manner. I would absolutely recommend Lambers as a speaker – 100% without a doubt. This was one of the most thoughtful, nuanced, and practical seminars I’ve attended on this topic.”

I appreciated Lambers’ many examples illustrating concepts and meaning. I felt encouraged in my journey to understand more about racism, diversity, privilege, etc. I loved the repeated movement away from rigid, all-or-nothing beliefs, toward wresting in the gray areas. I have already started using some of the things he talked about – that felt validating. Lambers provided so much information in one day – I feel I learned two days worth of amazing enhancing practices and ideas. Excellent presentation!”

I was pleasantly surprised by Lambers’ ability to present in a humorous, positive, non-blaming manner. This training was so refreshing in that way, and much needed during these challenging days. I learned a great deal while staying totally engaged in the presentation. Lambers was incredible in maintaining this attention for over 6 hours! I also took a closer look at my own way of thinking and have been practicing more empathy in my personal and professional life. I would absolutely recommend Lambers as a speaker! He offers a fresh perspective from which all types of professionals can benefit.”

I love how Lambers expanded the idea of diversity in his training to remind us of the diversity we all bring. Lambers also created a healthy framework and mindset in which we can learn to bring our humanity to learning, growing and trying to give others the benefit of the doubt. During these polarized times, Lambers provided a compassionate framework in which we can learn to challenge ourselves and our clients to see other perspectives. I would recommend this training for everyone! Lambers both challenges others to see varying perspectives while also challenging us to be an advocate when we see or hear racism or other forms of oppression. He also acknowledges that this will look different for different people. As clinicians, we do have the ability to contribute incrementally to the betterment of our society and Lambers’ training provides skills and tools for doing so..”

I appreciated literally everything about Lambers’ training!!! This was one of the best trainings I’ve ever had. I love Lambers’ analogies and the way he used them to make it simple for everyday people as well as professionals. Lambers’ call for action in a nonjudgmental manner was very much appreciated.”

Lambers’ excitement was amazing. His knowledge was unmatched!!! Absolutely!!!! He knows how to capture the attention of a large group. He makes the subject matter engaging..”

I really appreciated the ways to encourage and seek out diversity. I also loved learning about ways of responding to cancel culture. I would recommend Lambers because I found him engaging and interesting, full of good info.”
