“Awesome speakers with great energy and passion- kept my attention the whole day!”
“These meetings have been great.”
“This was my first meeting but I am excited for future topics.”
‘Topic was so relevant, timely, and important given the five generations currently working in the workforce. I enjoyed learning about the different styles of work style, communications, appearance, policies, and strategies presented. Debbie Hixson gave me much thought in how I interact with our five generations in my work environment. Thanks for an outstanding presentation and enjoyed participants!’
‘These meetings bring a ton of value!’
