“You present so wonderfully, Wendy! I love your natural, authentic and animated delivery style and the way you incorporated vulnerability and human-ness into the presentation. I can understand why your word of mouth referral rate is so high. All the content was relevant and engaging, offering great reminders and new insights. I also love the vast array of resources you referenced. The format of shorter sessions over several days helps integrate the learning.”

Wendy explains everything so well, using real-world examples so participants can see how they might implement them into their day. I can’t speak more highly of Better Ways of Working. We can all benefit from working differently, for increased productivity.”
