Too much details

Never put CIO on the spot
Mary Stevens to Everyone (Sep 29, 2023, 11:32 AM)
Love video, the ability to create something that can be consumed by various leaders asynchronously. My CIO, just let me know that one of the videos I created for her when she arrived she went back to so that she could revisit the topic and refresh her thoughts before our 1-1.

New2EA Cohort 2 is starting next week
