The work which started at the breakout sessions of the Leaders’ Summit 2024 in New York goes on. The panel inputs would like to encourage BPW members to exchange personal experiences on communication which hits the core of what they want to exchange. The clearer a person knows what she truly wants to communicate, the more effective her communication will be.
