This fall’s SPARK Summit centered around “Express Yourself” a theme focused on all forms of communication.

At a national management consulting firm, we are faced with a variety of communication requirements to achieve our goals when serving our clients. Our goal is to be the catalyst for positive outcomes and the foundation to achieve this is being able to express yourself and empower others to do the same.
