Most organizations understand that simply checking legal compliance boxes around sexual harassment, bias, etc. isn’t enough, but are at a loss on how to implement solutions, especially in today’s post-#MeToo world.
Inspiring Leaders and Teams
- Improve team communication to increase effectiveness and productivity, and to reduce workplace drama.
- Discover individual and team strengths (and overdone strengths) to increase relationship intelligence.

The Drama-Free Leader Academy
