TAMING THE SABERTOOTH
Taming the Sabertooth sets the foundation for building resilience, optimizing performance, and creating a culture of inclusion and open communication at work.

They become a learning cohort that shares a sense of community, connection and purpose, both reciprocating support and holding each other accountable for putting what they have learned into practice.
