“I’m from Turkey and have worked in the U.S. for 5 years. Cultural differences and a lack of time made it hard to meet people or have a social life. Going to Westbrook Strategies group sessions and working one-on-one with the Westbrook Strategies consultants has made a big difference. I actually enjoy going out now and feel comfortable chatting with people I don’t know very well.”
