Stop Telling Me Why It Can't Be Done: How Leaders Turn Vision Into Results
Constance Schwartz-Morini, co-founder and CEO of SMAC Entertainment, has built a career turning ambitious ideas into meaningful results — and challenging the people who say something can't be done.
She has helped guide the careers of Michael Strahan, Deion Sanders, Erin Andrews and other high-profile personalities while building successful businesses and brands. At WDAR, she'll share how leaders can challenge assumptions, evaluate opportunities and turn ambitious ideas into lasting results.
Discover how to build strong teams, navigate setbacks and turn vision into action.
