We have so enjoyed working with H&A. They have what it takes to bring out the best in people. They are doing cutting edge work in innovating the way we look at leadership development, and are helping organizations better identify, assess, and develop their new streams of talent. They have shown us a well-lit path to understanding differences in people in a nonjudgmental, yet straightforward way. H&A has been equally effective with senior executives and first time managers. Over the years here at NAMIC Hyun has taught the Relational Selling Skills course, brought the Bamboo Ceiling^® Leadership Series, as well as lectured dynamic dialogue as faculty at the Executive Leadership Development Program. They have consistently earned high marks. We look forward to our continued partnership.
