Challenged with leading a virtual team?

Key learnings for miles!

“I highly recommend Berry’s workshops. Key learnings for miles! Berry’s combined expertise in law and human resources adds value I very much appreciate. My key takeaway from one of her workshops (it was difficult to choose just one!) was active listening, illustrated by her unique group exercise. No spoiler alerts here; find out for yourselves!”

brings clarity and peacefulness

“Berry was in The Netherlands for the workshop ‘Inner Transition’ for our clients. The feedback they gave was: she is a passionate trainer, brings clarity and peacefulness. Because she gave examples of her own life the atmosphere was safe. The participants got concrete ideas how to handle in times of transition; for example, when you lose a job.”

went astonishingly well

“…It went astonishingly well. Since then, we have been conversing civilly, without blame and with real understanding. I feel like I’m having the best communication I’ve had with my family members in the past five years. And practice makes perfect, so things are only getting better over time. Berry’s work with me has been a life-changer.””
