“I will start by saying that there isn’t a typical day! Let’s take today for instance, I started my day in Miami, Florida on a flight to Vancouver, BC. While cruising at 35K feet I worked on a Design Thinking session supporting an upcoming Results Accelerator launch and caught up on a few hours of sleep.  Upon landing in Vancouver, I jumped on calls to support a Results Accelerator client team as well as touching base with several colleagues regarding a variety of other client needs. After a great dinner with the client, I returned to my room for a good night’s rest.”
