The Disruption by Design training was engaging and informative and I found the presenter to be knowledgeable and relatable.

My favorite part of the workshops series was the Individual Resiliency Assessment… The assessment resonated with me because it gave me an understanding of why I may think the way I do or how or I handle stress, and adjust to change etc. in the workplace environment but in my everyday life too.
