"Our friendship and collaboration over the past year have been truly incredible. I'm so grateful to have you in my life, as a partner. What I've loved about our process is the ability to figure out how I address the gaps. When you're reflective, you can see the indicators, but you may not understand the root cause. You may not have the tools to adjust. How do you really elevate the ability to lead others to a whole different level? The toolkits and the exercises we went through, that's such an invaluable asset. Thank you so much, I deeply appreciate it."- Adrian Mitchell, CFO & COO / Macy's
