"After Sean trained my board, members stayed on for an additional hour after the session, deeply engaged in brainstorming. Thanks to Sean’s valuable insights, they acknowledged areas where improvement was needed. Sean emphasized their role as ‘owners of the organization,’ sparking a significant shift in mindset. I’m really excited for what happens next."
— Meghann McDonald, EExecutive Director, Vermilion Sea Institute
