What clients
say.
TAK for et virkelig inspirerende oplæg til Coops workshop om kønsbalance i ledelse. Det var stærkt at få sat en samfundsmæssig kontekst ift. vores egne drøftelser – og det fungerede virkelig godt på video; selv i det format fremstår Cathrine meget engageret.
Lotte Hjortlund Andersen
HR Director, Coop
Cathrine gave us a shared language for understanding and working with equality challenges and made the data both accessible and actionable.
Lærke Engelbrekt

Cathrine afholdte to meget velbesøgte og populære workshops til vores Folkemøde. Hun var virkelig god til at inddrage eleverne i hendes workshops. Der var både afstemninger, tid til spørgsmål, og reflektionsøvelser med kammeraterne.
