Tosca’s meticulous preparation as well as ability to design training that is rooted in academic literature while balanced with the pragmatism of a practitioner resulted in a unique and enriching learning experience.

Her international interaction has given her a macro-perspective, and her managerial experience has given her a micro-view of the internal nature of organizations.
