Develop a communication style that is wholeheartedly yours.

Five words can say so much. It's a way of connecting the dots between all of the experiences that shape who you are -- both personally and professionally. It's about finding your story's beginning, middle, and end from a place of experimentation, ownership, and joy.

Join our guest Hillary Rea, Tell Me a Story, as she guides us through her company's signature "Five Word Life Story" exercise.

You will learn to create a framework to connect with others, build professional relationships, and to discover the stories that you feel most passionate about sharing in the present moment.
