Dr. Froswa’ is a Network Weaver who believes relationships are the key to our personal, professional, and organizational growth.

Dr. Froswa’ gets into more detail about social capital, the Immunity to Change process, and building relationships. According to research, 20% of people are born into the world highly sensitive.
