“Over the past two years I have witnessed the significant transformation that Cec Hanec has been able to generate in the organization I work for in her role as our leadership coach. The organization is large and complex, and in many ways was hidebound in a counterproductive culture. Cec Hanec applied her truly creative solutions for the ‘people side’ of business to lead the Executives and Management to more effective and fruitful working relationships. Today, thanks to Cec Hanec, our organization has knowledge, awareness and real tools to pull in the same direction – towards success!”
