Dear Sonia,

It has been a few weeks since the first offsite with my leadership team. I see that much of what we discussed and explored together as a team has been retained and serves as a guide to our functioning as a cohesive team. Thank you for a very engaging and productive session. You have been able to inspire the team to be better leaders and approach issues with a renewed perspective. It certainly has made the team think differently and will surely be the great start of a successful leadership journey.

Hi Sonia,

The feedback on your session is excellent. The content, delivery and connect are well appreciated and best in class. Leaders could internalise what you spoke and they felt very engaging. I am very confident these leaders should be able to externalise and apply what they learned in their lives and job. Your session will have lasting impact in their Leadership journey. Thanks.
