Breakout Session Title: Think Like (Today's) CEO

Speaker: Andrea Hill, CEO, Hill Management Consulting

Session Description:
Just as the realities of business are changing, so are the requirements of today's top executives. Now more than ever before, senior executives, aspiring senior executives, and go-it-alone entrepreneurs need to hone the skills that will enable them to see through the murk, hear through the noise, lead through the cynicism, and get their organizations on the track to profitability and growth.
