“We wanted you to know what an impact you made at our TCP Innovation kickoff!! We’re a very successful, fast growing industry leading company, but as we continue to grow so quickly we face many challenges. You inspired us to be flexible and understanding in a time of significant growth and be accountable to ourselves and others when dealing with challenges, you helped us embrace our fabric and all its threads. 100% of the people were up and out of their seats, participating and cheering (‘snap, clap, woohoo’) …and everyone found value in the event, which for a company as diverse as ours is a huge deal! Thank you!”
