Tan spoke to all levels of experience in the room and the session will be so helpful to our next steps as a leadership team.”

Her ability to connect across a wide cross section of our workforce was especially appreciated and we got some great feedback from the team who spoke about her warmth and ability to connect quickly and that they felt heard, without soliciting this.”
