Kristi provides a really useful mix of professional experience and personal insights to share how we can all own our story on social media and share positivity with others. She walks through the common fears people have about being active on social media and the benefits of finding the right message for your audience. Weaving in her own grandmothers diary entries and tying in her son’s journey with cancer, this is not just another “work” book. You will feel inspired!
