"From our very first conversation it was clear Claire wasn't focused on "selling" her services to me or the organization I represented, but rather was interested *in* me, what motivated me as a professional, and how she might be able to support me professionally or personally. In a healthcare landscape that frequently feels like all anyone is interested in is "sell first, care later" I found Claire and the Engage5w Team's approach authentic, engaging, and insightful."
