“The Elevate Academy Facilitator Guides are incredibly helpful! I was a bit worried about hosting a session just because I didn’t have time to prepare but once I looked at the facilitator guide I realized Elevate had done the heavy lifting for me. I can run an interactive training with hardly any prep work on my end. The team was very engaged and really enjoyed the sessions. The interactive sessions make all the difference and they are easy to do.”
