Huge thanks to Clara Addo-Bekoe and her students for collaborating with us on our “Toxic Workplace” module at the Feminine Intelligence Agency. Clara was consistently warm, thoughtful, and professional throughout the partnership, and it was a pleasure having her involved. The students brought a lot of heart and originality to the assignment — especially through the artistic videos they produced. Some of them were absolutely hilarious and brought so much joy to our team.

Our company had a great experience working with a high-performing team of MBA students at SFU. The students organized regular meetings with us throughout the semester and carefully tailored their recommendations to our specific needs. At the end of the project, we received a comprehensive and actionable report and presentation that I believe will lead to real results. I highly recommend working with Anthony and his students to any company.
