Backstory

Beetrix is named after Randi’s grandmother, Beatrice Ward, who loved a good story.

 

Robin Glickstein, EdM helped set the tone of Beetrix engagements from the beginning. She had a knack for connecting with people, persuading them to open up to her, and consistently overcoming resistance. Robin’s innate warmth allowed people to express their deepest thoughts and feelings on any topic. The results enabled different audiences to hear each other, and to have simpler and more profound understandings of the ideas that matter most.

 

Robin’s humanity, professionalism, and friendship will always be a part of our work and our lives.
