We distill down our key takeaways\, and we use them as a launching pad for ideas which embody what we learn directly from the source. \nHosted by Anh Nguyen\, join Lizz Torgovnick on this Flash Friday session as she walks you through a foolproof process for conducting your initial discovery sessions. Leave with tangible questions you can ask\, and a list of tips on how to get the most out of these initial meetings with your clients. \nSpecific topics\, short and sweet.
