Second City Works presents "Getting to Yes, And"

Kelly Leonard

Booking Overview

An interview-focused business and leadership show that regularly features prominent executives, authors, academics, scientists, and other accomplished experts discussing leadership, innovation, communication, and team performance. PR agencies could credibly pitch senior business leaders, authors with substantive workplace or leadership expertise, organizational psychologists, researchers, and high-profile subject-matter experts; booking difficulty is high because recent guests include major-company founders, C-suite leaders, McKinsey partners, and NASA mission leadership.
