Thanks
to Al Wynant, CEO of EventBrite and EventTechHub, who recently featured
me as guest expert on why meeting and event professionals should
include soft skills training into their seminars. In just 12 minutes, I
share my experience, my passion and my "why's" on this important
subject.
The following is taken directly from the EventInterface website which features excellent resources for those wishing to stay informed -- and on the current edge of -- event planning.
Whether you are running an event or just need to brush up on your own soft skills for personal growth and business success, hope you enjoy learning about the benefits.
