Learn how address conflict directly and respectfully without escalating tension, give and receive feedback effectively to drive performance and growth, and navigate high-stakes conversations with composure and professionalism.

There’s a difference between opening your heart to the holidays and carrying the full weight of how they’re supposed to look.

The Marketing Working Group wants to hear from you!
