Together, they’ll explore practical, real-time solutions, with the speaker offering insights drawn from his own personal journey navigating and overcoming similar challenges. Whether you're introverted or extroverted, working remotely or in person, you’ll learn how to meet people where they are and build the kind of connections that truly matter.
