    I was impressed with Dara. She likely gets a lot of organizations that want to “kick the tires”, and I imagine her process is the result of a lot of wasted time. I can’t even begin to imagine how many times she has had meetings with people who have no intention of moving forward with a real engagement. $350 (applied to future work) to have a collaborative conversation is money well spent.
