"Dr. Gurri’s workshop provided me and my team the “bridge” we needed to better communicate among ourselves.  She taught us about the different types of followers and leaders in groups and how they interact with each other. In her easy-to-follow and energetic way, she revealed a lot of truths and dispelled a lot of perceptions about ourselves that have built up over time. Once we realized we were all leaders, this allowed us to take ownership our individual “pieces” of both the problem and solution “pies,” which gave us not only a sense of relief that we were all good people, trying to do the right thing, with no nefarious intentions, but also the power to make change and be part of the solution.

The workplace has transformed into a positive, open, and most importantly, safe place that encourages communication and sharing of ideas." —Anonymous high-ranking leader, National Guard
