Testimonials

Thank you for a great presentation on Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Gender. Your research and delivery far exceeded my expectations, and you presented the data in a way I’ve never heard before.

Jennifer Aversano, Director, Learning & Development, Merck

FAO Learning and Performance Branch of the United Nations contracted Dr. Shawn Andrews to deliver a session on the topic of “How to Leverage Emotional Intelligence During COVID”. We targeted the entire Organization. This was the most refreshing and positive virtual session that I have had in a long time. The session was very well prepared and the verbal feedback was excellent. Dr. Andrews proved to be authentic in her delivery and she came across as knowledgeable, highly professional and committed to her work. Her session was engaging, innovative and thought-provoking. I would highly recommend her.

Cristina Pelazza, FAO Human Resources Officer, Learning and Performance Branch, United Nations

I loved the presentation and the group discussions on bias! I also thought that the SCARF model was a great framework in facilitating the conversation, and the Rule of 3 was very thought-provoking as I was thinking about how we hire right out of college. I can’t wait to hear more content from you.

Shawna M. Bode, Director, Western Region Immunology-Rheumatology, AbbVie

Your talk was extremely impactful and a big hit over in Ireland. People in the office were talking about generational differences, bias, and discussed various aspects regarding your talk - a positive buzz all around the office. Some even expressed interest in joining the D&I Council, which really speaks to how you delivered this topic in such a way to bring people together!
