Rachel Palko
As a productivity coach, I help my clients focus on both deep work for design thinking, as well as collaborative work with key allies to get things done in the face of people gridlock. At Sandbox Experience we are on a two-pronged mission to help clients map out critical time to think, as well as, transform gatherings from 'meetings-as-usual' into incubators that produce mission-critical results. Our uniquely collaborative and passionate people work alongside our clients every step of the way - caring more and telling it like it is - to anticipate and overcome all the barriers to private time to think and gathering time done right.
