Engaging in front of
the room and in back.

Katie and Jenny spoke at two events for our center but spent twice that time engaging in meaningful conversations with attendees. Thier keynotes were so well done and professional, but the part I didn't anticipate was how meaningful their presence would be in creating authentic dialogue. I wish they were at all of our events!
