As a global leader and leadership development specialist at IBM Angela has led teams across all Continents and connected with people around the world from a place of direct and honest communication.

As a rebel and rule-breaker in the best of ways, Carol has always challenged broken, conventional models, calling for radical change in businesses and individuals when required. She sees not what is – but what can, and will, be. Carol dares to go where others might waver and does so with a playful, take-no prisoner approach.
Another arena she loves to dance in is sharing neuroscience tools with organizations and individuals that want to create stronger teams through neuroscience and brain integration. She uses simple easy to use tools and language that provide an immediate and lasting effect on our changeable brain.

They generated lots of engagement from participants and were able to address specific questions and help our clients with the issues impacting them– Culture Crafters truly co-creates the experience they design with participants which makes the sessions extremely valuable and impactful.”
Terri IwaskowDirector of Client Engagement at WorkTango
“Culture Crafters provided customized training to our DEI committee and we couldn't have wished for a better company to partner with. From the beginning, Culture Crafters took the time to understand our company and culture, with genuine care to move us along our inclusivity journey. The session was powerful and challenged us to explore our own unconscious bias. We left the session with a 12-month map with specific actions and accountability for our DEI committee to continue this important work. Our facilitator, Anya Soto was extremely passionate, knowledgeable and engaging. KOHO would highly recommend!”
Kayla Van SchyndelManager of People and Culture at KOHO
“An amazing day with this talented group of colleagues exploring unconscious bias and having conversations that get to the heart of what it means to belong at work. A big shout out to our rock star facilitators Anya Romanova and Parul Bansal for their incredible work in this highly engaging experiential workshop. I am leaving the session enlightened, and more aware of my privilege / unconscious biases. #humanforward #lifelonglearning”
Wesley ConnorVP Global Learning and Development at Randstad
“Anya delivered her Recognizing Unconscious Bias workshop for our Diversity and Inclusion company committee with a tight turnaround of 3 weeks. She was very efficient in getting the team organized (sent a survey in advance) and ready for the workshop. The delivery was awesome, a lot of energy and connection with people. The content was on point for the group. It was received with praise and did a fantastic job raising the awareness of our biases. I highly recommend and trust Anya in her leadership.”
Francine CharetteHR Director, Colas Canada
“If you are looking for a skilled facilitator capable of keeping a group energized, on-track and feeling truly seen and heard, look no further than Anya Romanova. She creates an inclusive space where participants felt safe to share their perspectives and experiences while also keeping to the agenda and ensuring the group was meeting learning objectives. I would recommend her to facilitate any group that requires a leader capable of both being an empathic listener and a taskmaster who meets targets.”
June MorrowOntario Public Services
“I attended Three Core Coaching Skills at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic while trying to navigate how to best lead and support my team through a challenging time, and who were all newly working remotely. This session is short at only 2 hours long, and the concepts were explained clearly and concisely. The real strength of this program though is that it offers truly tangible takeaways that can quickly be implemented almost immediately after leaving the training. Unlike many training sessions, the majority of the session was spent practicing the skills and concepts addressed. Anya and Vanessa create a safe and kind space to experiment and practice, and support the time and vulnerability needed to truly learn, so translating these concepts into my day to day life was less daunting. I thoroughly recommend it!”
