Learn how to own and share your story in order to spark connection, inspire others, and further your career. In this 60-minute interactive workshop, we will explore how you can share your own story, as well as focus on how sharing your story can be powerful in a professional setting with customers and colleagues to build a culture of trust, awareness, and vulnerability.
You’ll need Zoom (video conferencing app), a quiet place to focus, a pen, and a piece of paper.
