Testimonies include:

"CAL practices used daily make it irrelevant if there is lock down or not."

– Lukasz Walach, Product Leader, Nokia

"This intensive one day really helps me navigate uncertainty with less stress, and helped our managers deal with lockdown uncertainties."  

– Ian Anderson, MD Synthoma China

– Karl Hudson, Regional Director North Asia, Suttons International
