Lee Jourdan

"Sana positively impacted all levels of Chevron globally—from the C-suite to field employees—by equipping people to resolve conflicts productively and feel safe speaking up through formal channels. As an independent board member and former executive, I value leaders like Sana who foster innovation by welcoming new ideas and diverse perspectives."

Kathleen Brady
Certified career/life management coach, Author and Educator

"Employees leave organizations that claim to value open communication and trust yet do little to train leaders on how to deliver on that promise. Managers need to be shown how to create space, and be given the tools to navigate uncomfortable conversations with their teams. Now more than ever, Corporations must committee to build a “speak-up” culture to mitigate risk and retain the talent needed to thrive in an evolving world. Sana has the expertise needed to help companies to succeed."
