Wensheen Tong, Head of Sales Operations for North America at Uber
“I highly recommend working with Randi. We invited her to do a workshop on relationship building for our Uber Eats team when I was Uber's Head of Sales Operations for North America and she was fantastic. Randi's tips were authentic, thoughtful and tactical. Our team walked away energized and, more importantly, those tips made an impact on our client relations and business operations.”
Rachel Jenkins, Principal at Avascent Consulting
"Randi delivered her Thriving While Remote workshop and I cannot emphasize enough the impact that she had in an especially chaotic time. Randi was thoughtful and attentive to the specifics of my organization in planning the session, not to mention flexible, which enabled us to quickly design an interactive session to meet near-term desires for a conversation around adjusting to remote work.
More importantly, the dialogue sparked immediate action for those that attended, both related to navigating a COVID-19 world and more broadly for navigating their careers.
As just one example, I heard of team members directly incorporating some of the communication tactics Randi discussed into their performance self-assessments, which were ongoing at the time. I would highly recommend Randi to any organization seeking meaningful dialogue within and across teams."
Cathy Sebag, CEO & Cofounder of HELA Health
