We have worked with Anisha over the last few months in a variety of ways. So it began with Anisha coming for a meet and greet she literally dissected our thoughts and our brains at that short timeframe and came up with this master plan on how we are going to better our team and our business and for lack of better words "level up and that is exactly what we did with Anisha. She performs a series of learning and development with our team and they have been a complete success and everyone always looks forward to them"
