“io_Works / Kalle intensified our customer experience, professional sales and account work by leading a multifaceted training and sparring sessions for our team of project managers. The program lasted six weeks and included weekly workshops, and both personal and group assignments in-between. The outcome helped our future social media leaders to feel more confident and prepared in their work. It was also great for building stronger team spirit.

“Kalle led our management team to effective remote workshops where we were able to focus on productising our services through guided tasks and questions. Clear assignments, adequate scheduling, and efficient compilation at the end of the workshops gave us the additional boost we needed to continue working independently. Kalle’s long line experience both shows and feels, an absolute recommendation! ”
