"Lauren Bernardi is an excellent speaker who presented a point of view that was believable with real life scenarios."

"The session was very informative. I was listening both as a supervisor and an employee. It reminded me that it is all about 'how' you relate to your employees or supervisor and that it is important to relate to them both negative and good things. We all like to hear we are doing a good job. I am grateful that I work in a place that does that."
