Fantastic and hugely valuable resource for my team.
As Regional Recovery Director for multiple concurrent disasters, the snack videos were a fantastic and hugely valuable resource for my team. The short videos were highly effective in stimulating thinking and open discussion with my team. They helped create a powerful conversation for a very busy team working in disaster recovery. No matter how many times we watched them, we took something different from them depending on where we were at individually.
