You Are the Strategy!
Presented by: Rhonda Scharf
Strategy doesn’t live in boardrooms or PowerPoint decks — it lives in the everyday decisions that turn ideas into action.

You’ll discover how the work you do behind the scenes directly shapes priorities, focus, trust, and results across your organization.
