Developed a fast paced and engaging program allowing participants to share ideas, discuss challenges, and showcase initiatives that are working in other organisations.
Focused content and discussion on pragmatic solutions that move from resistance to action and from compliance to engagement.
Provided research and education to support the business case.
Partnered with NAWO to develop prework thought provokers to prepare participants for the session.
