Teams leave aligned, engaged and ready to follow the strategy instead of quietly waiting it out.

About Adriane
I'm Adriane Simpson, founder and CEO of The LinkedIn Pros. I help leaders and teams become visible, trusted and influential, especially when everything around them is changing. I bring more than 20 years of corporate leadership, operations and workforce strategy, and I've trained 25,000+ leaders, including teams at Bank of America, ADP and PayPal. I created The Warm Handshake™ and the V.E.G.A. Framework™, and my TEDx talk shows why trust still moves opportunity. I've also been laid off four times, so I speak about change from experience. My sessions are practical and interactive, and your people leave with a plan they can use that same week.
