Early in my career I was told my best chance for success was to fit in and make sure I didn't stand out. I got really good at making myself small. It's why I'm so passionate about conversation strategies that help you play a bigger game. buff.ly/3Cqwoo2 #speaker

@JenTalksSports whatever it is, we know you will rock it!
