REAL-LIFE BRANDING IN ACTION

Upcoming Octover 2025 | Speaker | PRSA
Leadership often is measured by results, but true leadership also is experienced through moments that go unnoticed: the first welcome, the tone of introductions and the cultural assumptions embedded in everyday interactions. This interactive session invites attendees to consider how leadership behaviors during onboarding and early team integration can significantly influence confidence, performance and long-term retention — especially for professionals from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Participants will leave with a simple tool for conducting a cultural risk assessment within their own organizations, and a renewed understanding that inclusion is not a statement — it’s a behavior.
