Though we are the experts at what we do (creating experiences designed with purpose!)\, our clients are the experts on themselves\, their brands\, and their audiences. They know what success looks like to their teams\, their organizations\, and their constituents. Our job is to ask all the right questions and to really listen to those answers. 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. Join us. \nThis meeting will use Zoom’s live transcription feature for captioning. \n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n [vc_btn title=”REGISTER NOW” style=”gradient-custom” gradient_custom_color_1=”#e0295d” gradient_custom_color_2=”#54a0df” shape=”round” size=”lg” align=”center” i_align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-right” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fpcma.zoom.us%2Fmeeting%2Fregister%2FtJwudeyvrzwtG9eBUpN9zpGlRsamSK5JdyQy|target:_blank” el_class=”reg-btn”] \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n Speaker: Lizz Torgovnick\nChief Creative Officer & Co-Founder\, Sequence Events \nLizz approaches life as she approaches every challenge\, as an opportunity to be awesome – and she delivers on this Sequence core value every time. \nAs Chief Creative Officer and Co-founder\, Lizz brings her deep passion for creativity\, strategy and hospitality to Team SEQ.
