What Luz azul’s clients say
“I have become aware of some scenarios in email communication that are not particularly effective, but that I never considered before. From now on I’ll first take into account diverse perspectives before I write an email, and if I do, how to formulate it so that it’s being understood as I mean it to be.” (professional at an international NGO)
