“Using a one-size-fits-all approach does not deliver impactful interventions for clients. I focus my consultative practice on deeply understanding the client needs and designing experiences that are focused on meeting those outcomes. My goal for every engagement is the client and their participants leave with actionable behaviors and strategies which will be sustainable in their professional journey.”
