“The course provided new perspectives, joy and inspiration, but above all increased trust and clarity in both how to facilitate and to lead remote. I was given several powerful tools that I could use from day one. We created a network at my workplace after the training to develop and manage the learnings which led to several new initiatives and digital collaborations.”
