"So helpful"

"This was so helpful. I learned that I'm not the only one who feels this way and I also learned about the ways in which feeling like an imposter actually holds me back. It made total sense."

"Great, easy to follow suggestions!"

Our employees loved Stella so much, we brought her back for a second time. They enjoyed hearing the great observations that Stella shared in our recent resilience event. Stella is so interactive with her virtual audience, it is like being in a room with her. Participants were engaged throughout the session, sending questions, chats, and comments during the entire event. We loved Stella’s empathy and energy. She always shares great, easy to follow suggestions!

"So brilliantly stated"

I really took two things away and have already shared with my team / will continue to share. First, she put language to the focus we are really seeing right now on self-awareness. From hard skills to soft skills to now inner skills, it was so brilliantly stated. Second, play is needed! I really loved the exercises she shared on how we can play more to improve our resilience.

I had been following Stella for a while after coming her across her fresh approach to well-being at work. At the height of the pandemic, she was offering a webinar on "New Year, New You - How to Set Goals in Times of Uncertainty", which seemed like a perfect topic to kick off a new and uncertain year for our weary healthcare audience. And it was! Our employees were so pleased that we invited Stella back again for "How to Promote Post Traumatic Growth".
