“I really enjoyed your session and our chat afterwards. Joan, what resonated for me was the 1/ fast set up with some quick data and facts, 2/ observations and POVs shared from the facilitator/ panelists and 3/ the energy level. I knew I’d share a few key points when I had my next conversation with at least two of my mentees.”
