ABOUT The Show

From years of emceeing conferences, facilitating networking events, coaching speakers, and leading workshops, I’ve noticed the same thing: most rooms have everything they need to connect. They just need someone to design for it intentionally.

The Work the Room Podcast is where I share what I have learned, one short episode at a time.

Whether you’re a meeting professional, a trainer, a leader, or someone who wants to communicate better and connect more genuinely, this show is for you.
