: . Lara Morris: Workshops & Training . :

Lara Morris has been incredibly effective coaching our staff to develop successful strategies for inter office communication and administrative policy development. She has been able to work with a staff whose administrative training spans many decades and has been able to help them determine what the best solutions are to incorporate their working styles into a coherent pattern that suits the entire office environment. We saw immediate results from the implementation of strategies that she was able to develop through the staff's shared server file protocols.
