This project was one of the most challenging yet exciting experiences of my professional career.

I share the journey the entire company went on as we co-created a new direction. As reflected, there were many trials and tribulations including several of my own from the perspective of a first time external coach. The journey began with the uniting of the leadership team and progressed to the creation of a cross company employee team<\/a>.
