You’ll also laugh while acquiring tools you can use immediately to improve your multi-generational relationships with clients, co-workers and in your every day personal life. In addition to Meagan Johnson, we are excited that Kentucky television’s most noted political commentator and news journalist, Sue Wiley is speaking.
