We loved being at IMEX and we love this shout out from Aja Bradley Kemp! She writes: "?? Shared_Studios My absolute favorite! As I stepped into the portal, the facilitators who were in Brazil stopped mid conversation and said "Hey Sister! Come on in!”. I felt like I was walking into an intimate gathering at a friend's home. This human connection company is focused on creating transformative conversational experiences and they understood the assignment! Imagine hosting a dinner where guests in different countries feel like they're at the same table." Thanks so much for stepping in!
