Why do you like about working with our clients?
Working with people who really want to see change ignites me. Change is hard. The work we do in leadership development, training, and culture development all requires major changes in the way we work and think. We’re asking our clients to be bold, courageous, reflective, creative, and curious. It can get messy, however, in a safe space, we’re able to explore and go deeper. I’m honored to share these spaces with our clients because I know these rooms are often safely guarded in our worklife. We were taught to separate work and life for a long time and many leaders are looking to do it better while being their full selves in both work and life. I appreciate the transparency - the big dreams as well as their concerns - so that we can do the deep work to manifest lasting changes that could transform not just them but thousands of other people they work and lead.
