Denise Atwood
Greetings! I’m Denise, I have worn many hats and been a lot of places in my time. From Arctic to Antarctica, from large multinational companies like McDonald’s and Walt Disney World to the local ski resort or gift shop. I’ve been blessed with varied experiences that have taught me a great many lessons.
Including how to respectfully communicate with people from all backgrounds. How to work within a deadline. The logistics of feeding from 20 to 1200 people when you are hundreds to thousands of miles from where that food comes from. When to support the team from within and when to take the lead.
I am a professional game master, leading collaborative, team building exercises through the art of storytelling.
I am also embarking on a new journey into IT. Join me!
