  • Recently we worked with Wendy to bring a leadership bootcamp to our organization and the impact was tremendous. She has decades of experience and is able to come alongside you to consult, coach, guide and develop leaders. As the HR leader, I’ve witnessed first-hand the impact this program had on our team and the feedback from our leaders was positive, with them feeling better equipped and more prepared to lead others. I highly recommend Wendy and Ignite Leadership.
