“The Building Effective Teams for Social Impact workshop was so much more than I had ever expected. It has already benefited my career and helped me to better connect with my team. It has also given me several specific tools that are helping to push our intern program from OK to WOW. The activities and handouts provided by Kimberley were illustrated so clearly. I would highly recommend her workshop and programs to anyone looking to create a collaborative work culture that can be used inside and outside the office." - Jessica Tunon, Founder and CEO, Netwalking
"Kimberley led our team on a journey that helped us distinguish what was our main purpose, our strategic goals, and a plan to achieve them.

It was also extremely useful to have tools that we can continue to use as a virtual team." - Daniela Matielo, Former Director of Network Activation, Ashoka Changemakers
