Power Hour

Adrienne is delighted to announce she has started a Substack, called In The Room. You can subscribe for free at adrienneadhami.substack.comIn The Room is where I’ll share what I’ve learned because I’ve spent years getting into rooms where opportunities are created and decisions are made. I know how valuable it is to access those conversations. Not everyone gets that chance, but everyone can benefit from the insights and knowledge shared in those spaces. My goal is to bridge that gap—bringing you in and giving you the insights and strategies to confidently navigate your own path, no matter where you are. Hosted on Acast.
