Do you have questions like:

  • How can I as an individual be noticed for my humanity and uniqueness at a time when it can feel like I’m being drowned out online by the onslaught of AI generated content?
  • How can I make and maintain authentic connections when we are all so obsessed with our phones and social media?
  • As an entrepreneur, small business owner, freelancer, or a job seeker, how can I make sure I can be found in a sea of slop?

Come to this month’s meetup and find out the answers to these questions and more, from Katherine who is an experienced strategic communications leader who helps organizations and individuals increase their communications skills, strengthen their community connections, and expand their brand reach and recognition.
