- Provide critical services from an even deeper well of passion and commitment.
Approach
Andrea Driessen designed and delivered a tailored, 90-minute Gracenotes “wenote” that included relevant stories, examples, interactivity, writing practice, and tangible, re-visitable takeaways.
Results
In response to Andrea’s session, the CEO wrote …
“Andrea made a memorable presentation and training event for our team that made for a great retreat and provided a set of ongoing tools we can use every day. She was a thoughtful and organized collaborator who personalized the presentation to our team in meaningful ways.
Her actionable tips helped our team members show up for each other and our clients in ways that make them feel seen, heard, and understood. We’re still seeing Gracenotes being left throughout our offices, and more people taking time to thank each other and recognize achievements and goal milestones."
