My team wanted to get on the same page about what a good leader should look like. I initially chose Amber because she’s a trained Dare to Lead facilitator, and I’m a huge Brene Brown geek. However, it was immediately apparent that Amber took it a step further. She instantly incorporated feedback and personalized the program to meet our goals. As a result, I’ve noticed my team engaging in more open conversations and have gotten feedback that they’ve taken the work into their personal lives.
