Testimonial
"A big ‘thank you’ for helping me find my confidence, that was (allegedly!) always in myself."
Analyst - HSBC
“Your story was at times difficult to hear, but just unbelievably powerful and you were able to provide some fundamental takeaways for our colleagues across the bank. It very much had the desired outcome, people starting to talk, people starting to care.”
