Book Jennifer

Diversity and inclusion is a high priority for our organization. Since many scientists tend to be introverts, we wanted to increase awareness that they can be impactful leaders without changing who they are. Jennifer showed us how introverts and extroverts can work better together to increase productivity and innovation. It was great that we started the meeting with her keynote since people were talking about the concepts in small groups throughout the two-day event. Following her session, we are better equipped to attract and retain the best people for the job.
