We came to Aren and Bryde looking for help in challenging our leadership to challenge themselves and break out of the cycle of self-censorship. Quite collaboratively, they worked with us to frame up a workshop that raised the energy level of the room and led to a lot of laughter. The workshop set us up nicely for the culmination of our conference. Thank you Aren and Bryde for your confidence, poise, and belief in our abilities.
