She was easygoing throughout a complex logistics process and genuinely cares about creating and delivering content that resonated with our audience. She made the people in the room feel seen and gave examples that dispelled fears the audience had on how to tell their stories to grow their careers. The audience was highly engaged and gave high ratings about the session."
