"Dr. Emmanuel Ngomsi’s delivery of Cultural Diversity in the Workplace in August was outstanding! Most of the one hundred and nineteen employees who were in attendance stated that the seminar was, “fun, entertaining, informative, interactive, stress-relieving, and very professionally presented.” For those of you who missed this dynamic diversity seminar, the session was taped and the tape is available at the Medical Library. I strongly encourage the showing of this video at staff meetings."
