Developing Confidence and Talent in Connecticut and Beyond
AARP CT believes that our local suppliers and vendors should reflect the diversity of our state, our volunteers and our members, especially when they are interacting directly with them. In 2016 we wanted to provide our diverse group of volunteers with training that would boost skills associated with communicating with confidence, storytelling, and dealing with difficult people/situations. That began our long standing relationship with The Bolder Company.
The Bolder Company is a CT based, woman-owned small business, co-founded by Ellen Feldman Ornato and Jenny Drescher. They bring energy and experiential exercises to individuals and teams, increasing connection & belonging. They believe, as does AARP CT, that when individuals feel powerful and confident, their organizations thrive. Jenny and Ellen focus on four skill sets: listening, speaking up, cultivating ownership, and building strong relationships to produce lasting organizational change.
