The session was very informative and we had lots of positive feedback from attendees in different roles in our organization. This was the kind of session it seemed many of us needed, even if we didn’t know we needed it! There were lots of good takeaways and over the past 2 months I continue to hear positive testimonials on how helpful this session was for some of our employees. I would highly recommend Charmaine as a speaker to other organizations.  "
