What makes coming to Opal School a special growing experience is how it forces us to slow down and think deeply. This was hard for us at first because of the fast paced, deadline driven environment we experience daily. However, the process has made us better at what we do because of the ability to reflect as a team on a deeper level. You created this environment during all of our visits. Opal is the catalyst for our journey.
