So many speakers lack authenticity. To say that Tracie is overflowing with authenticity is the understatement of the century. I’ve had the privilege of seeing her speak multiple times, and every time, she’s put 120% into making sure the audience has learned something new, that she’s shared something deeply personal about her career journey, and has given a concrete solution for attendees to action. She’s an asset to any event, and the voice in the People Space that everyone needs to hear from.
