"In other words," he deadpanned, "at a funeral, the average person would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy." For many, networking doesn’t rank much higher. But have no fear – there really is an art and a science to both! In this session, we’ll have some fun while you learn some tangible takeaways to help you not only keep calm and “survive”...but show up as the best version of you! |

In order for an organization to experience the highest levels of performance, impactful leadership has to start with each member of its ecosystem.
