The X-Factor: Are You Positioned for Impact?
Akua is a wonderful facilitator who brings energy and enthusiasm into her conversations. When we hosted an alumni of color event with Akua, it felt like she was sitting in the room with us. I could see folks engaging, taking notes, and getting excited to apply her coaching prompts immediately. As a program creator for alumni events, I appreciate that she delivered on what was advertised.
Additionally, Akua spoke to a diverse age group with varied professional careers. I was impressed and received similar feedback from those in attendance, that she found a way to connect with everyone.
