#WhatWouldChadDo?™ Negotiate, Navigate, & Neutralize Situations Few Spots Left
Thursday February 27, 2025 12:00pm - 1:30pm PST

During this session learn from experienced leaders on how to negotiate, navigate and neutralize these situations. Let’s take a page out of our male colleagues’ playbook and ask ourselves “#whatwouldchaddo?”
