I’ve had such supportive, thoughtful conversations about what I’m working on. Annaliese draws on her experience to offer new perspectives and understanding of what I’m working on. She gives me space to think through a problem by asking brilliant questions so I can reach my own conclusions. I always leave a conversation with her feeling so much more positive, and like I’m able to achieve more than I thought I could.
