“Kristi led a mindfulness meditation session with our Amazon team in our Seattle offices. We learned practical tips and techniques to help us maintain our balance and bring our best selves in our work and personal lives.
Kristi was a fountain of knowledge, bringing true expertise to the session. I received glowing reviews from all of the participants who were happy to have this type of information. While many trainings or team bonding activities can be mindless or just “checking a box”, this activity provided us with techniques to manage stress, helped to elevate our conversations about each other, and built team rapport. I would highly recommend Kristi for an event in the future.”
