“I attended The Show Must Go On: Leadership Best Practices from a Broadway Producer. It was very refreshing to listen to Jessica Genick speak on how to become an authentic leader. She was a very engaging and inspiring speaker who provided a very fresh perspective coming from her unique career. A few topics that really stuck with me and evoked reflection were what it means to be authentic, becoming more self- aware, and seeking feedback. I thought these were all very relevant, and helpful topics that helped me step a little deeper into becoming a thoughtful leader.”
