Allen-Herring provided tips and tools to connect in new ways and to thrive in the workplace and at home through developing our own internal personal power in these uncertain and ever-changing work environments.
2023: “The Future is Now,” was a conversation with Donna Brazile, an ABC News Contributor, a member of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, veteran political strategist and an adjunct professor in the Women and Gender Studies Department at Georgetown University.
2024: “Resilience A Comeback Story: Stuckey’s Unstuck,” featured Stuckey’s CEO Stephanie Stuckey. Stuckey’s was known as a highway oasis to generations of Americans. Founded in 1937 by her grandfather, W.S. Stuckey, Sr. in Eastman, Georgia, Stuckey’s grew into over 350 stores nationwide in the 1970’s. But the company was sold and sadly declined for decades under outside ownership. Fortunately, Stuckey’s is now making a comeback thanks to Stephanie and her business partners acquiring the brand in 2019.
