As a communicator, do your leaders invite you to the table for your input at the beginning of an initiative? Or do you simply receive marching orders after decisions are made without you? Trusted advisors have that seat at the table - and this session will explain how communicators can earn that role.

Lynne Viscio, a managing director at CRA, will discuss the specific behaviors critical to all communication professionals in establishing, gaining, and maintaining trusted advisor status with leaders and other internal clients.

Visco is an experienced consultant who regularly advises clients on organizational design, organizational effectiveness, internal communication strategy, and leadership development.

Lynne has advised leaders in organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, McDonald’s, Lincoln Financial, State Farm Insurance Company, and The World Bank. She’s helped clients evolve their organizations to ensure that the right people are in the right roles, equipped with the right processes, to get the job done.
