This session explores what drives those choices and how you can influence them using short-term Pre‑Suasion techniques. Then, we'll unpack how to earn super fan status by building a thriving community, not just a passive audience.

What Are Executive Roundtables?
Not a webinar. Not a panel. Definitely not a sales pitch.
These are intimate, pitch-free roundtable discussions for arts and nonprofit leaders navigating marketing, audience growth, and leadership challenges. Each session is limited to 12–15 participants to ensure thoughtful dialogue and real takeaways.
Led by Nicole Elizabeth Wetzell, these sessions are known for being candid, strategic, and energizing.
