"Jami was super organized. I appreciated that all of her materials were easily available to download. This made it convenient for me to print out her PPT deck, in real time, and take notes as I followed along. She was responsive to questions and clearly presented all of her hacks. The workshop inspired me to schedule some internal meetings with colleagues to set up tracking and proposal budget planning processes and workflows that will help us to be more proactive in the future."
