“Sharon supported our Division through an important transition, implementing a new framework that’s fundamentally changing how we approach our investment decisions. Sharon’s facilitation of our virtual workshops created an engaging environment where staff could actively wrestle with the new framework and begin to apply it to their work. Her deep understanding of adult learning principles, combined with her strategic thinking skills, resulted in a training program that not only built our team’s foundational knowledge but also accelerated our progress toward critical goals.”
