  • " Soliya's training was, without a doubt, the best professional development training I've been part of in my career. It taught me so much about how to help people have difficult conversations about tough topics, lead a discussion impartially without weighing in with my opinion. I can't recommend it enough for anyone working in international affairs or diplomacy."
