“Wanda La Russa’s presentation Let’s Chat…Branding was inspiring and full of many practical ideas to put into effect. After her talk, I was moved to work on my own elevator speech. Her tips helped me to write a more personalized version that really captures a feeling, not just a statement of facts.”
Judy Taylor
District 2 Vice President and 2021 Top Ten at American Business Women’s Association
