Her presentation Communicating with Confidence, Clarity and Credibility - Are You Undermining Your Success? will focus on communication and perception of your actions. You'll walk away with strategies to develop and strengthen your communications skills. Laura spoke at The Can Am Cup and was such a great addition; CGSA knew she'd be an asset to our education program with practical and easy to use techniques.
