ABOUT BONNIE

Bonnie says the quiet parts out loud.

Bonnie Low-Kramen spent 25 years working alongside Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis before becoming one of the world’s most recognized workplace experts. She’s trained leaders at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Harvard, Wharton, KKR, and the British Parliament — in 14 countries and 38 states.
