I've found that clients are increasingly interested in introducing ACT at the level of the team.

An entire life dedicated to the care, understanding and bridging of communication between us and other species. An ambassador of good.
She was a legend that walked amongst us and we were genuinely lucky to have lived in the same timeline as this human.
