The conversation between Jen and Shineforth President & CEO Nancy Toscano offered valuable insights on leadership and communication in today’s complex world. Moderated by Nancy Eberhardt, an acclaimed author and communications expert, the discussion was both engaging and thought-provoking, leaving everyone inspired and connected.
We are deeply grateful to Jen for generously donating her time and expertise to make the evening truly special. A special thanks goes to Shineforth’ very own Director of Learning and Special Projects, Erica Mann, who played a key role in bringing Jen, her college roommate and best friend, to campus.
