An Hour Inward: Create Space for Meaningful Reflection

In the room, she earns trust quickly and uses storytelling to carry messages in a way people can hear and act on. I have seen her do this with large audiences and with small cohorts, from community nonprofits to Fortune 500 executive teams. Client feedback is consistently outstanding, and leaders ask for her by name. People do not just leave inspired.
