Overall

This was another session that wasn’t what was expected. I was looking for more specific discussion on a persons’ Needs and tools for talking about them. What ended up being discussed were activities that can be implemented with new hires. But there was no tying back to Birkman, unless it was implied and I just happen to miss it. I think the activities that were mentioned were really cool, but wish there was more correlation to Needs.
