To avoid top-level discussion and ensure you have valuable, impactful learnings to take back to your team, every Reuters Events speaker has committed to the following:
I will include at least one real-world example to illustrate my point
1
I will share at least one example of a success/failure
2
I will give at least one actionable next-step you can implement next week
