In this talk we will look at the concept of foundation, where we have it in our lives both professionally and personally and ideas on how to use that knowledge to build foundation where it is lacking. We will discuss the example of a network and personal brand as a foundation that many times gets overlooked and how to break it down in order to add best practices that build over time. The talk will be part story, part interactive and hopefully a topic to inspire.

We look forward to seeing you there!
