Social media isn’t just noisy—it’s volatile. Outrage is rewarded, division is profitable, and for brands and leaders, it can feel like the only way to be heard is to shout.
But what if we chose something better?
At the Social Media Breakfast, author, speaker and consultant to the C-Suite Denise Hamilton will guide us through how to lead with clarity—and humanity—when algorithms incentivize the opposite.
The C-suite turns to Denise for guidance on how to dial down rhetoric, both inside organizations and out. She’s advised Fortune 500 companies, spoken on national stages, and built a reputation for helping leaders navigate tough conversations with courage and purpose.
You’ll walk away with these key takeaways:
- Clarity on how social algorithms amplify outrage—and how to disrupt the cycle
- Why anger spreads faster than truth (and how to respond wisely)
- How online discourse gets hijacked—and how to stay grounded
- Tools to talk with people you disagree with—without triggering backlash
- Ways to show up with intention in your business’s public voice
RSVP today! Let’s shape the kind of feed—and future—that protects your brand and lowers the temperature.
