I was extremely shy when I was a little girl, hiding behind my mom’s legs whenever someone new approached me. I never would have guessed that I would end up at a tech company whose mission was centered around communication. Now, I lead the marketing org as the Senior VP of Marketing at Prezi, a visual communications platform with 100 million registered users. Throughout my career and particularly at Prezi, I’ve learned the importance of communication — visual, verbal and otherwise — in making sure your message is heard.
In this chat, I want you to walk away with:
*How to find a communication style that works for you
*How to gain buy-in for your ideas
*Tips that help you move from being nervous to being excited to speak up
