\u201cI thought that the lead facilitator was outstanding. The small-group discussion on identity brought out important facets of my team’s identity that tend not to be overtly stated in our work environment, and that I will take into consideration in the future.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

\u201cThe session was good.\u00a0 I think it could actually have been longer – at least a full two hours.\u00a0 Once the group gets started talking, there is a lot to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cThe facilitators were very insightful and had a plan to get our team over the finish-line. I was very impressed that they got everyone talking and sharing their viewpoints by making it a very safe space.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
