Jamie's energy is contagious and engaging. She facilitated a workshop around the Birkman Assessment and helped a room of 15 managers see how they can work better together. The time spent was invaluable as it helped tear down barriers holding us back. We're inviting Jamie back this year for a Leadership Retreat to delve into communications and cross generational management.
