“Payal created an incredible experience for our talent across all agencies to learn how to tap into empathy to add value, create influence and advocate for self in remote work environments. We had everyone from early career to senior leadership attend her immersive experience, with an attendance that has surpassed any of our former engagements. The feedback from the participants has been of positivity, motivated and ready to apply her strategies immediately. We’ve had senior leaders who are already seeing the benefits of her teaching after simply one month. In fact, senior leaders are ready to bring Payal in for recurring work with our agencies and ensure talent continues to apply her strategies as it’s enhancing the culture we’ve already built of trust and innovation.”
