Maximize Potential.
Elaine personally helped me complete and interpret results of a Lominger 360-degree assessment. The coaching she provided really helped me turn peer and manager feedback into constructive career actions and ultimately be more confidence in my contributions. I like to think that this contributed to my current promotion and expanded responsibilities.
