Every year, as spring finally arrives and we emerge from our winter cocoons, we look around and recognize the enormous effort that goes into making our day-to-day work possible. Today, and all week, we’ll be celebrating the behind-the-scenes heroes of our office – our administrative professionals.
Whether you’ve come to us for an assessment, attended one of our Leadership Through People Skills workshops, or met with an executive coach, you’ve almost certainly interacted with one of our amazing team of administrators.
So this week, we’re shining the spotlight on our amazing team. Take it away, folks!
