About this Event
About the Event
The rooms you step into and the choices you make inside them shape everything—your opportunities, your visibility, and your leadership journey.
In this AALAM Spring Leadership Session, “The Room & The Roadmap – The Choices That Change Everything,” Denise M. Thomas, Founder & Owner of The Effective Communication Coach and author of The Only One in the Room, will lead a high-impact conversation on how to:
- Be intentional about the rooms, spaces, and tables you say “yes” to
- Build a roadmap that reflects your values, goals, and calling
- Communicate your value clearly so opportunities can actually find you
- Make everyday decisions that create long-term momentum in your career
This won’t be a lecture. It’s a working session with reflection, guided prompts, and real talk about what it looks like to lead, grow, and stay grounded while navigating real-world workplaces.
A book signing for The Only One in the Room will follow the conversation. Copies will be available for purchase onsite (you’re welcome to bring your copy to be signed).
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of the session, you will:
- Clarify the kind of rooms and relationships that align with your next level
- Identify key turning-point choices on your leadership roadmap
- Learn practical language to communicate your value with confidence
- Leave with 2–3 concrete actions you can take in the next 30 days
