I had a pleasure to collaborate with Ilze Rassa when organising online learning programme about personal branding to the Ambassadors of SEB. The goal of the programme was to advance employee engagement and to accelerate their personal branding efforts via social media and beyond, which has been gracefully achieved by Ilze. Attention to detail, proactiveness, clear structure and constantly used real-life examples made our ambassadors’ journey enjoyable and valuable. I can confidently recommend Ilze Rassa for other individuals and organisations.
