She Thinks Big®: Drop the Drama—Make Faster Decisions, Hold Better Boundaries,
Host: Andrea Liebross
Info: In the window coverings world, everything is custom—which means variables, handoffs, and client emotions can quickly turn projects into decision fatigue and unnecessary stress. In this practical, high-energy keynote, Andrea Liebross shows you how to “drop the drama” by upgrading the way you make decisions, communicate across the trade, and lead clients and partners with clarity.
You’ll learn a simple framework to stop overthinking, reduce scope creep, and hold boundaries around pricing, timelines, and expectations—without damaging relationships. Whether you’re a designer, retailer, workroom, installer, vendor, or newer professional, you’ll leave with tools you can use immediately to keep projects moving, protect your time, and lead every project with calm confidence.
