Stakeholders’ Feedback

Here’s what some of our participants have to say about their experiences:  

  • “I think I have come a long way through this process, both personally and with my team. We give and ask for feedback more often and with greater quality.”

  • “Through dialogue with a peer, I learned that he had asthma since he was six months old. This knowledge changed our relationship.”

  • “People are now better prepared to engage in thoughtful dialogues, which facilitates professional relationships at all levels.”

  • “It was fascinating to see extroverts beginning to give introverts a chance to share their opinions, encouraging more expression from everyone.”

  • “In my team, I sense more empowerment; they make more decisions and are more autonomous. We can now solve problems more quickly without relying solely on upper management.”

  • “The constant exchange of information across various areas of the business has yielded positive results, including bringing back clients who had distanced themselves from the company.”
