"Dee Dee Raap has the heart and soul of a teacher, but she understands teachers can’t just direct behavior. They must inspire it. She does that for large groups, individuals, and everything between. Her authenticity creates immediate trust. I’m most grateful for the one-on-one coaching I’ve had her do with employees. In every case, she has improved employees’ performance and changed their lives." - Vernon Brown, Associate Vice President for External Affairs, SDSU
