ABOUT FRANCIS LANZA
I’m a People Leader with a background in Special & Virtual Event Management, as well as Project Management. If you try to find me in any social setting, I am probably deep in conversation with someone, sharing a travel story or laughing it up within a group. I love being around people and find them fascinating! I’m passionate about working with and understanding people, how they think and what motivates them. At work I shine best in a position that allows me to collaborate and work with others. I crave the chance to work hard and occupy my brain with challenging tasks and problems to solve. Through my past experience, I have a strong understanding and knowledge of building exceptional participant experiences, and in creating barrier free paths that evoke an emotional connection to a company. I\'m also an empathetic, emotionally intelligent leader and motivator. As an experienced People Manager, I have successfully led departmental and project based teams. I have also had the opportunity to engage with employees in person and remotely, and have developed and perfected my skills to motivate my team members to produce their best work.
