“The most engaging Zoom experience of the pandemic.” - NPR’s Inflection Point
"Tiffany and her team did a wonderful job engaging our audience in an all virtual setting - so lively and fun at each of the 4 sessions. Tiffany and Sawyer took the time to get to know us, understand our people, our current reality - and then they applied their research, films, and concepts in ways that amplified our culture, messaging, and intentions. The concepts introduced were timely, relevant, and they inspired many of our employees to start trying new habits. I would recommend Tiffany's program as a great way to engage employees in conversation about creating a new future of work together." - Clif Bar's Director of Org and People Development
