Her leadership is a rare blend of tenacity, collaboration, and results."

Program Manager

"The manager commented yesterday about how he is seeing a positive change in the way they interact with each other. Specific behavior changes..they are joking around with one another, more patient. There is a difference in behavior toward each other. The manager is taking action as well - he posted the operating norms they created from the offsite and refer to them. Every couple of weeks the manager is now holding a team meeting to bring everyone together. They are connecting on a shared purpose."
