Conference Overview:
Communicate, collaborate, and conquer!
Join us for a highly interactive and hands-on two-day workshop. This year’s speaker lineup includes Peggy Vasquez (author of "Mean Girls No More" and "Not 'Just an Admin!'") discussing the importance of powerful connections; Daniel Seitz providing an overview of DiSC behavioral principles; Carolina Selva talking about conflict management and TKI conflict styles; and Lori Rock illustrating visual mapping and The Big Idea Zoo.
Networking will play a larger role in this year’s event via several facilitated roundtable sessions throughout the workshop; a non-hosted optional networking dinner the evening before the event; and a team building event with baker/decorator Daisy Sanchez (owner of My Sweet Little Cookie Jar) at the reception following day one of the conference.
