Belonging Isn't a Perk. It's a Practice.

Your Facilitators This Month:
Hi, I'm Theresa Destrebecq!
I am a passionate learner and leader who loves books, so I started a company that brings book-learning to companies to make it more social and transformational. |
Hi, I'm Laura Dietze!
I fell in love with the moment of understanding a customer problem and solving it with tech 20 years ago, and have never turned back. Today, I care more about building organizations that can do that instead of the product - which is awfully similar to hospitality. |
