I just want to express my sincere appreciation for the training that Dr. Gleb put together for our group as a train-the-trainer on hybrid work. We really took a lot from it. We found it really valuable! Especially two of the key areas for us were the way that it provided some very practical advice on how to operationalize hybrid work and train our supervisors on the approach related to that, as well as the insights related to data.

We at Entergy hired Dr. Gleb as the opening keynote speaker to set the tone for the annual nuclear utility industry conference, hoping he would give a wake-up call about the threats and risks facing us and what steps we can take to prepare. Well, what he delivered exceeded our expectations. His keynote was the talk of the conference, widely described by attendees as giving the nuclear industry the kick in the pants we needed to jump-start critically important initiatives to address the threats he outlined. Thank you Dr. Gleb.
