Rebecca’s engaging approach, personal stories, and exercises shared were incredibly helpful in identifying my own personal strengths in the workplace which can be leveraged within my company for obtaining additional responsibilities in my current role. I hope to attend other presentations of Rebecca in the future. — Forté Foundation
