“I had the great fortune of working with Giselle and Positive Work during my time at Vistaprint. She designed a 3-day training that was practical, interactive, engaging and loaded with useful tips and meaningful conversation among peers. Throughout the planning she was adaptable, always open to feedback and overall a valuable thought partner. I was blown away by her facilitation, her ability to connect back to Vistaprint and how she made space for the tough discussions.
Like all good trainings, the 3 days was just the beginning. Participants helped each other identify areas they can better themselves in immediately and continued supporting each other through peer check-ins over the course of several months.”
