GADENS
Alicia presented at Gadens’ Partner Retreat, and the insights she shared were amazing. Our intention for the session was to help our leaders build strategic people capability. We wanted to get our leaders thinking beyond the present, and challenge them on their thinking about the future of Gadens.
Alicia certainly didn’t disappoint. The style of delivery and relevance of the content made an instant connection with the audience. The presentation really set a positive and forward-thinking tone for the Retreat.
