"Christine is best at providing clear, concrete, and useful feedback in a non-threatening way. I was really nervous on the first day, seeing as I’ve always had a fear of public speaking. Christine did a great job of giving us confidence to the point where we were excited for more by the last session." -- Dana Reinitz, Member Services Consultant at Infohrm
