"As someone who has done this assessment tool in the past, I must say this workshop was captivating, insightful, and powerful in learning about our strengths to the next level! It not only helped me learn about myself, it helped me learn about others on my team. I would love to take this again and I would love to recommend this to others!" - March 2021 virtual participant
