Motto: “We are all miracle workers. We do the impossible daily, with enthusiasm.” – Terri Straut
Hobby: Trying to keep up with my kids, whether they’re hiking, biking, skiing, golfing, or just running amok
Favorite Client Moment: I observed an artist lead a group of corporate leadership participants through one of our art-focused metaphorical experiences. The participants peeled away layers upon layers of fear and anxiety around creativity and art. They broke through their own perceived boundaries and collectively created an intricate work of art in the process.
