Testimonials

Talking about the art of facilitative leadership helped deepen my understanding of the ways that leadership style and leadership approach can strengthen or hinder the ways that individual skills of team members are leveraged, and that there is potential for team members to be overlooked or for their skills to be under-utilized or not utilized depending on the leader's approach. Especially when teams are diverse, it is important for leaders to take time to know what each individual brings and has to offer, many times those of non-dominant identities will have skill sets overlooked.
