WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING ──

“

Having Lisa and Lori present Reclaiming Civility to our El Paso County Clerk & Recorder leadership team including Clerk to the Board, Recording, Elections, and Motor Vehicle Managers, was nothing short of transformative.

Their message resonated deeply with every department represented. Lisa and Lori created a space where our leaders could reflect honestly on the human side of public service: the stressors, the pressure, the pace, and the essential role we each play in shaping community trust.
