  • OPENING GENERAL SESSION

    Say Yes, And...! | Avish Parashar

    September 30, 2023 | 5:00–6:00 p.m.

    In this interactive, high-energy, and funny program, leaders will learn what “yes, and” is (and isn’t) and why it’s about engagement, innovation, and communication rather than simply agreeing to everything. Participants will explore ways to instill a “yes, and” mindset in their employees that allows them to build stronger connections and unleash their own potential. Parashar will highlight the role emotions play not just in making the switch from “yes, but” to “yes, and,” but also in engaging and leading others.
