Her sessions have received outstanding feedback and are regarded as highly illustrative and beneficial. Niina excels at translating the importance of empathy in both workplace settings and customer interactions into concrete examples.”

Julkinen palaute Saavuta-seminaarin empatia työpajasta.
-Saara W. 2024
“Saavuta-seminaarissa yllättävin työpaja oli empatia-työpaja. Hyviä ajatuksia ja paljon keskustelua siitä, miten empatialla on mahdollisuus edistää saavutettavuutta. Hyvinvoivat, innostuneet ja empatiaa osakseen saavat työntekijät jaksavat myös todennäköisemmin tehdä työtään empaattisemmin"
Palaute puheenvuorostani DigiAgeTalkissa.
