During this time we grew from primarily bicoastal to a national and international clientele, and quadrupled our staff. As part of its world-class facilitation team I trained, coached, and learned among the best and most talented collaborators a person could ask for. LifeLabs Learning is the go-to manager training and employee development resource for 1,000+ amazing companies (like Reddit, GoPro, Slack, and Sony Music). We study what makes great managers and employees different from average and teach the "tipping-point skills" we identify: the smallest changes that make the biggest impact in the shortest time. We teach all over the world, in-person and virtually. Our workshops are science-based and packed with practical tools and exercises. Show less
