It’s challenging out there: A challenge to get above the white noise. A challenge to get to the decision-makers. A challenge to stand out from the competition. And a challenge to stay

members is vitally more important because it’ll impact growth, more than the relationship you build with your customers. FACT In today’s marketplace, there’s so little you can

It’s time for a new approach, a new perspective and a new set of strategies to redefine how you lead. In this cutting-edge, innovative program, Meridith redefines leadership and leaves your franchise audience with plan of action to create ownership, engagement and results.
