I thought about Dene Rossouw – the words that came to mind were “articulate, funny, open, clear, passionate, congruent, authentic and knowledgeable.

Dene, accompanied by his experience, warmth, and alacrity, lead the Dress for Success Vancouver Client Ambassadors through the Possibil.com Art of Mentoring Workshop.

I wouldn’t hesitate to bring him and any of his curricular offerings back to our teams of clients, volunteers, or staff.

Thank you for your encouragement and assistance over the past 2+ years.
