Ellis shared, “More and more leaders are afraid for their business. Not because their brands and organizations are not innovative or relevant, but because they connect with the changing face of today’s consumers and the ever-evolving workplace.” Her team works to help remove communication barriers and discover ways in which can alter, adjust and amplify their communication methods to make both employees and consumers feel valued, understood, included and respected.
