“Chris led one of the best, most practical training sessions I've ever attended. It was very clear how the content could be applied in real life.”
“I've been to a lot of senior executive retreats, and this was hands-down one of the best I have been apart of. Chris managed the complexity of the group dynamics and helped us surface issues that had been lingering for awhile. I was so impressed at how she was able to draw that out of people and facilitate an action-oriented conversation that will allow us to level up as a team. This session was well-worth the time away from the office.”
