Randa coached her to create a plan for that approach, clarify her go-forward vision, build a strategy that articulates the vision, including areas to explore with their current provider to assess impact. The Culture Lead’s confidence increased tremendously and as a result was more prepared for discussions with her internal decision makers to gain buy-in and alignment for the new vision and strategy
