Sharon Delaney McCloud, Founder of Greenroom Communications

If you're not ready to fight to be heard through ally-building strategies, your potential could be silenced.
In this engaging, actionable session, Sharon will share how to amplify your voice figuratively (and literally) and hone your message to make certain that you are heard.
