Words do not do justice to the impact Justine's training has had on us as individuals, leaders, and our organization. Brené Brown’s material is exactly what we need to take our team’s leadership to the next level and Justine was the perfect facilitator/guide on the journey.

Erin S.
Project Manager and Connection Specialist
Courage is Built Here was an incredibly meaningful experience. Justine showed up fully as herself - unapologetically authentic, vulnerable, and kind - which made it possible for participants to begin exploring what it means to do the same. That foundation is essential to the work, and it wouldn’t be possible without her modeling it so openly. Some concepts felt familiar yet refreshed, while others were entirely new and eye-opening. The training struck a great balance: it was challenging without being overwhelming, and Justine guided us with clarity, structure, and just the right amount of levity to make the material approachable. These skills have the potential to transform my relationships at home and at work, and I have been well equipped to put them into practice.
