Amplifying Subject Matter Expert Voices with Maria Taylor

Lisa Mitchell / Maria Taylor Episode 147

“We want to amplify your voice across the organization so that instead of you having to train 200 people [one on one] on this particular process, we can amplify your voice, get it out to all 200, and then maybe it's just the five or ten that need that extra support or have deeper questions.”
-Maria Taylor
