hank you for an educational and insightful session with our Sr. Leaders. We appreciate the extra time you took for answering questions and providing some coaching/mentoring tips for having some conversations around taboo topics. – Lorisse Garcia, SVP of People Operations, Vinik Sports Group Thank you so much for your words and encouragement yesterday. Hearing you speak [about courageous conversations] is so empowering. You have given us the language and strategies to move forward. Can I order more of the booklets you gave us? You are making such a difference through your approach. I am grateful! Caitlin Mallory – Director of Special Education, CHPS It was something that could be related to my personal and professional life. We learned how to create an environment to host conversations as well as learn how to conduct those conversations. We also learned the consequences of avoiding these conversations that need to be held. M.
