Alicia worked hand in hand with us to formulate and deliver a development program that targeted the unique collaborative and creative leadership requirements of the company and our people. Though a series of presentations and workshops she provided our diverse and eclectic staff with research-based context and behavioural insights valuable to all. Bundled throughout the experience were practical tips, tools and techniques for the team to digest and utilise in their everyday personal and professional lives. Her enthusiasm and positively focused perspective was thought provoking, engaging and very well received by our people at all levels. I would definitely recommend Alicia and her team.
