Glen blended the why and the how beautifully for our organization’s Lead Team sessions. This was no easy feat, given the complexities of our organization and the various backgrounds and interests from our leaders. However, the presentation was extremely informative and drove conversation into the breakout rooms. It was timely, relevant and just enough information to get us thinking as to what we should do next, and what we should focus on doing well. I highly recommend Glen!
