Speaking at Snap! 2016 this April

In 2014, I decided I wanted to share my skills with others. I taught a Digital Marketing class at General Assembly and then spoke at Alt Summit in January 2015 and co-taught an Instagram workshop at Makeshift Society SF that March.   This April 2016, I'm speaking to another community of creatives at Snap! in Salt Lake City.     Will you be at Snap! 2016?

Inconsistency.   Women expect that other women will assume that they misunderstood the other person. They expect the benefit of the doubt. And we need to stop. We need to start calling other women out on these behaviors. And here's why.   Do you call women out when they're communicating poorly? Being inconsistent?
